In Luke 7:12, the imperfect passive form occurs of the mother's only son after his death, as the procession approaches the city gate; the APB renders the clause, “was being carried out.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Luke 7:12, the APB presents the action with “was being carried out.” This reflects the clause's presentation rather than a precise lexical equivalence.
