In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses forms such as "passed," "pass away," "passing by," and "pass along" across these clauses. In Luke 11:42 and Luke 15:29 it also presents the verb in clauses about passing over judgment or a commandment; these renderings reflect whole-verse translation rather than a word-by-word alignment.
