    In Matthew 13:48, the accusative plural form occurs in the action of collecting the good after the catch is pulled onto shore; the APB renders the clause, "collected the good into vessels."

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Matthew 13:48, the APB presents the collection as being made "into vessels." This reflects the clause's presentation rather than a precise lexical mapping.
