   Present active plural forms occur in questions about comprehension: in Mark 7:18 the APB renders the question, "Do you not understand that nothing outside that enters the human is able to profane him?"; in Matthew 15:17 it asks whether the hearers understand what enters the mouth.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly uses "understand" in the questions and statements, while also using "consider" in 2 Timothy 2:7 and "comprehend" in Mark 8:17. These English terms show the verse-level presentation rather than fixed individual renderings.
