Across the occurrences, the verb marks movement outward under another's direction. In Acts 5:19 the APB renders the angel's action as leading prisoners out after opening the prison doors; in Acts 13:17 it describes God bringing the people out from Egypt; and in John 10:3 it depicts the shepherd calling his own sheep and taking them out. Mark 15:20 places the action after the mocking and clothing of Jesus, as he is taken out for crucifixion.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the action with “led... out” or “leads them out”; it also uses “bringing them out,” “brought... out,” and “escort... out” in particular clauses. These are verse-level renderings rather than word-by-word alignments.
