    The supplied morphology identifies the form as a particle throughout. In John 1:29 the APB renders the following identification, "Look, the Lamb of God," while in Mark 11:21 it draws attention to the dried fig tree; it can likewise introduce a stated fact or result, as in Galatians 5:2 and Romans 11:22.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously presents the particle with "Look," "See," "Behold," and "here is" across the verses. These variations show the clauses' attention-directing force rather than separate meanings.
