In Luke 20:18 and Matthew 21:44, λικμήσει is a third-person future active indicative in the clause about a stone falling on someone. In Luke 20:18 the APB renders the result "it will crush anyone on whom it falls," and in Matthew 21:44, "it will crush him."
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both verses, the APB presents the clause with "crush" after the stone falls on a person. The term's contribution is identified from its place in that future-result clause.
