   The aorist active participle occurs as Philip approaches and then asks a question in Acts 8:30 and as an individual approaches, kneels, and asks in Mark 10:17; in both verses the APB renders the approach as "ran up." The present active participle in Mark 9:15 depicts the crowd in the act of approaching before greeting him; the APB renders the clause "running up they greeted him."
