    In Luke 8:1, the imperfect active indicative form occurs in the clause about going through city after city and village after village while preaching and proclaiming. In Acts 17:1, the aorist active participle introduces arrival at Thessalonica after passing through Amphipolis and Apollonia; the APB renders the clause “After going through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the movement as “went through city after city and village after village” in Luke 8:1 and “going through Amphipolis and Apollonia” in Acts 17:1. These are clause-level renderings rather than definitions.
