In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the action with “set him on his own animal” in Luke 10:34 and “they set Jesus on it” in Luke 19:35, while Acts 23:24 uses “after mounting them.” These phrases confirm the scenes’ overall placement or mounting action rather than establish separate meanings.
