    In Matthew 27:57, the accusative singular neuter form occurs in the clause identifying the man from Arimathea as Joseph; the APB renders the introduction, "a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph."

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Matthew 27:57, the APB presents the identifying clause as "named Joseph." That wording confirms the clause's overall sense rather than isolating the term word for word.
