In Acts 26:13, the aorist active participle occurs with the light from heaven seen around Paul and those traveling with him; the APB renders the scene as light “shining around me and those who were journeying with me.” In Luke 2:9, the aorist active indicative occurs in the clause about the Lord’s glory around those beside the angel; the APB renders “the glory of the Lord shone around them.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Acts 26:13 and Luke 2:9, the APB presents the surrounding light with “shining around” and “shone around.” These renderings confirm the scenes without isolating every detail of the term’s contribution.
