   In Acts 13:25, the second-person present form occurs in John’s question about what his hearers take him to be; the APB renders the clause, “What do you suppose me to be?” In Acts 25:18, the first-person imperfect form refers to evils the speaker had expected the accusers to charge, while in Acts 27:27 the third-person imperfect form describes sailors judging that land was coming near; the APB renders both clauses with forms of “supposed.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with “suppose” in Acts 13:25 and “supposed” in Acts 25:18 and Acts 27:27. These renderings confirm the clauses’ overall presentation rather than isolate every feature of the Greek term.
