   In Acts 16:9, the aorist active participle occurs in the plea directed to Paul; the APB renders the request, "Cross over into Macedonia and help us." In Hebrews 11:29, the aorist active indicative plural describes the people’s passage through the Red Sea, while Luke 16:26 uses the aorist active infinitive for the crossing that neither side of the fixed chasm can make.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the action with "Cross over" in Acts 16:9 and "crossed" or "cross" in Hebrews 11:29 and Luke 16:26. These renderings confirm the verses' movement-across context rather than isolate every contribution of the Greek form.
