'Begun' in the Bible

When he had begun to settle them, one who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him.

But we had to celebrate and rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and has begun to live, and was lost and has been found.’”

Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?

saying,“We give You thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty, who are and who were, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign.
