Senses in use

  1. Gathering together or collecting · dominant

    In Matthew 17:22, the present passive participle occurs as the group is gathering in Galilee; the APB renders the setting, "While they were gathering in Galilee." In Acts 28:3, the aorist active participle occurs with Paul collecting brushwood and placing it on the fire; the APB renders, "Paul gathered a multitude of brushwood and laid it on the fire."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "gathering" for the group in Matthew 17:22 and "gathered" for Paul’s collection of brushwood in Acts 28:3. These render the clauses rather than establishing separate lexical meanings.
