Senses in use

  1. Leaving or moving out toward a destination · dominant

    In Acts 13:42, the present active participle occurs as people leave and ask to hear the words again; the APB renders the clause “As they went out.” In Acts 17:15 and Acts 20:7, departure follows the escorting of Paul and his intention to leave the next day, while Acts 27:43 places the present infinitive in an order for swimmers to leave the ship toward land; the APB renders “they departed,” “intending to depart,” and “jump overboard first and make for the land.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the movement with “went out,” “departed,” and “intending to depart”; in Acts 27:43 it describes the commanded movement as swimmers who “jump overboard first and make for the land.” These are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
