'Getting' in the Bible

When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that a riot was starting instead, he took some water, washed his hands in front of the crowd, and said, “I am innocent of this man’s blood. See to it yourselves!”

As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed kept begging Him to be with Him.

They kept hitting Him on the head with a reed and spitting on Him. Getting down on their knees, they were paying Him homage.

Then all the people of the Gerasene region asked Him to leave them, because they were gripped by great fear. So getting into the boat, He returned.

We are punished justly, because we’re getting back what we deserve for the things we did, but this man has done nothing wrong.”
