'Drew' in the Bible

Now it happened that as he drew near to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting on the side of the road begging.

And it happened that when he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, to the hill called [the Mount] of Olives, he sent two of the disciples,

And they drew near to the village where they were going, and he acted as though he was going farther.
