    Acts 12:4 The KJV is awesome at distinguishing between things. Easter was the pagan holiday that Herod observed (Herod build many pagan cities) and Passover was observed by God fearing Jews ( Exodus 12).

    Greetings, Wayne,

    "And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people." Act 12:4

    The King James scholars translated the Greek word, pascha, as Easter in this one instance and Passover in 28 other places in the New Testament.

    Whether this is a mistranslation or not I know not. It makes not a bit of difference in this context. The meaning is exactly identical using either word. I would not loose any sleep over it.
    "Amen!"   Report
