   In Matthew 27:16, the accusative singular form qualifies a prisoner called Jesus Barabbas; the APB renders the clause "a notable prisoner." In Romans 16:7, the nominative plural form describes Andronicus and Junia in the clause concerning the apostles; the APB renders them as "notable among the apostles."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "notable" in both cited clauses, once for a prisoner and once for Andronicus and Junia among the apostles. These renderings confirm the clauses' presentation rather than isolate each word mechanically.
