All three occurrences use the third-person singular aorist active indicative form in clauses of conformity to prior direction. In Matthew 21:6 the APB renders that the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; in Matthew 26:19 they do so and prepare the Passover lamb; in Matthew 27:10 a field is given “as the Lord directed me.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the relevant clauses with “had directed them” in Matthew 21:6 and Matthew 26:19, and “the Lord directed me” in Matthew 27:10. These phrases confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than isolate a fixed English equivalent.
