This verb describes the passing or elapsing of time. Classical usage includes 'going through' a period of time, surviving, or living through events. In the New Testament, it appears in temporal constructions marking the passage of time between events. After the Sabbath had 'passed,' the women came to anoint Jesus' body. When considerable time had 'elapsed,' sailing became dangerous. Festus arrived in Caesarea, and after some days had 'passed,' he went up to Jerusalem. The term provides narrative time markers, indicating temporal progression.
