    In Luke 22:55, the aorist active participle occurs as people light a fire in the courtyard and sit down together; the APB renders the scene "sitting down together." In Ephesians 2:6, the aorist active indicative describes a completed seating with Christ; the APB renders the clause "seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the two clauses as "sitting down together" in Luke 22:55 and "seated us with him" in Ephesians 2:6. These renderings confirm the respective scenes rather than isolate every contribution of the Greek form.
