   In Acts 23:17 and Acts 23:18, the accusative form νεανίαν identifies the person whom Paul directs to be taken to the military officer. In Acts 20:9, the nominative νεανίας names Eutychus as the one sitting in the window, while Acts 7:58 uses the genitive νεανίου for Saul, at whose feet the witnesses placed their garments; in each case the APB presents a specifically identified person.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Acts 20:9, Acts 23:17, Acts 23:18, and Acts 7:58, the APB presents the individuals as “a young man.” The verse is read as a whole, but its clauses consistently identify a particular person in each scene.
