The "past" does not exist in the [[Gospels]]; the term is not used, not even once, by the [[New American Standard Bible]] or the [[New International Version]] in translating the [[Gospels]].  [[Jesus]] never used the [[Aramaic]] or [[Greek]] equivalent, not even once.

Yet the term the "past" does appear in the more [[liberal]] translations, such as the [[Revised Standard Version]].  For example:
