Without delay or directly following · dominant
The adverb marks actions or events as following without an intervening delay: in Matthew 4:20 the APB renders the disciples' leaving their nets and following as occurring immediately, and in Acts 9:18 it places the recovery of sight directly after the falling of the scales. It also frames an expected prompt response in Luke 12:36, a sequence after prior conditions in Matthew 24:29, and the denial of such nearness in Luke 21:9.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly expresses the timing with “immediately,” including Matthew 4:20 and John 5:9, while other verses use “at once,” “soon,” or a negative phrase such as “will not come immediately.” These renderings confirm the clauses' temporal force rather than supplying separate lexical senses.
