   In Luke 24:29, the aorist middle plural form occurs as a group asks him to stay because evening has come; the APB renders the clause "And they urged him." In Acts 16:15, the aorist middle singular form accompanies an invitation to enter a house and stay, and the APB adds, "And she prevailed upon us."

   Luke 24:29Acts 16:15

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the action as "urged" in both verses and also describes the invitation in Acts 16:15 as prevailing upon the invited party. These renderings confirm the scene's insistent invitation rather than isolate a precise English equivalent.
