Marking the following day or night · dominant
All five occurrences use the same present active participle form in the dative singular feminine. In Acts 16:11 and Acts 20:15, the APB renders travel events as occurring “on the following day” or “the next day”; Acts 21:18 places Paul’s visit to James “on the following day,” Acts 7:26 says Moses appeared “The next day,” and Acts 23:11 places the Lord’s appearance “On the following night.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the temporal relation with “on the following day,” “the next day,” and “On the following night.” These renderings confirm the clauses’ temporal setting rather than isolate a precise English equivalent.
