An unplanned occurrence or circumstance · dominant
In Luke 10:31, the accusative singular feminine form occurs in the clause introducing a priest going down that road; the APB renders the verse, "Now by chance a certain priest was going down on that road," presenting the priest's arrival as unplanned.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Luke 10:31, the APB presents the circumstance with "by chance." This rendering confirms the verse's presentation rather than isolating a precise English equivalent.
