ἀπήγαγε
apágō
took away
To lead or take away from a place, to remove, usually with a sense of separation from an original position or group. In various contexts, ἀπάγω can mean to lead away physically (as in arresting or removing someone), to carry off (as in taking captive), or, by extension, to take away for execution (to put to death). The term is used predominantly with reference to people being led away—by authority, for punishment, or into captivity—but in some contexts can denote the act of removing or carrying away more generally.

he led away
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple past), active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active indicative, 3rd person singular, denotes a completed action in past time: "he led away." The rendering preserves the compound sense of ἀπό (away from) + ἄγω (to lead), expressing removal by leading from a place or group. |
