    In Matthew 15:30, the accusative plural masculine form occurs among people laid at his feet for healing, and the APB renders the group as “the crippled.” Matthew 15:31 again uses the plural in the crowd's observation that “the crippled healthy,” while the accusative singular masculine form in Mark 9:43 and Matthew 18:8 describes entering life with the condition after losing a hand or foot.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB consistently uses “crippled” in all four verses. In the healing scene it contrasts the condition with being “healthy,” while the other verses speak of entering life “crippled”.
