Matthew 4:1 ἀνήχθη was led up

Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

Here: 'Was led up' or 'was brought up.' Geographically he goes up from the Jordan valley, far below sea level, into the higher wilderness hills. The passive voice matters: Jesus does not set out on his own; someone else leads him.

Luke 2:22 ἀνήγαγον they brought

And when the time of purification according to the Law of Moses was complete, His parents brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord

Luke 4:5 ἀναγαγὼν having led up

Then the devil led Him up to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.

Here: 'Having led up'. Luke does not say where to. The upward movement suggests a vantage point, but the best text names no mountain. The subject is the devil, carried over from 4:3.

Luke 8:22 ἀνήχθησαν. they launched out.

One day Jesus said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side of the lake.” So He got into a boat with them and set out.

Here: A sailors' term, literally "they were brought up": they put out from shore and got under way. The form is passive but the sense is active. Luke uses it many times for sailing in Acts.

At that time they made a calf and offered a sacrifice to the idol, rejoicing in the works of their hands.

Here: Literally 'they led him up'. This is physical: up the stairs to the room on the roof where the body lay (v. 37).

Acts 12:4 ἀναγαγεῖν to bring out

He arrested him and put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out to the people after the Passover.

Acts 16:34 ἀναγαγών Having brought

Then he brought them into his home and set a meal before them. So he and all his household rejoiced that they had come to believe in God.

Here: 'Having led up.' The aorist participle puts this before the main verb: first he brought them up, then he set the table. The 'up' is probably literal. The inner cell (v. 24) was likely lower than the jailer's living quarters, so he brings his prisoners up out of the place where he had locked them.

Acts 18:21 ἀνήχθη he sailed

But as he left, he said, “I will come back to you if God is willing.” And he set sail from Ephesus.

Here: A standard sailor's term, literally “he was brought up,” meaning he put out from harbour onto the open sea. This is the only main verb in the sentence. Everything else leads up to the moment the ship leaves.

Here: "Having led up": a single, completed act. The direction is upward: Jesus is brought up out of the realm of the dead, the way the Greek Old Testament speaks of God bringing people up from Hades. It is also the only explicit statement of Jesus' resurrection in Hebrews.
