    In Acts 14:14, ἐξεπήδησαν is a third-person plural aorist active indicative form describing the apostles’ action after they heard of the event and tore their garments. The APB renders the clause “rushed out into the crowd,” confirming the outward, urgent movement in that scene.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Acts 14:14, the APB presents the action as “rushed out into the crowd.” This rendering confirms the verse’s scene rather than isolating every element of the Greek form.
