The singular accusative form marks a route of movement in Acts 9:11, where the APB renders the instruction to go to “the street called Straight,” and in Acts 12:10, where those leaving the gate proceed down “one lane.” The plural forms refer to city thoroughfares in Matthew 6:2, rendered “in the streets,” and in Luke 14:21, where the command is to go into “the streets and alleys of the city.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously presents the setting as “the street called Straight,” “one lane,” “the streets,” and “the streets and alleys of the city.” These expressions show the verses’ urban-route setting rather than assigning a separate English equivalent in every case.
