1 | Easter questions | Ex 12:2 | Cyclist | 37372 | ||
Mommapbs, Emmaus, wannabe, angel1, Good day to you! This is the day that the Lord hath made, I will rejoice and be glad in it! Any comment on the different wording in the KJV / NASB versions; Acts 12:4 KJV "easter" / NASB "passover". I've spent most all of my Christian life in the KJV. I do agree that there should be a celebration, every day, of Christ's resurection! I have a reputation of being a zealous person though. King James Version Acts 12:4 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. NASB Acts 12:4 When he had seized him, he put him in prison, delivering him to four (1) squads of soldiers to guard him, intending after (2) the Passover to bring him out before the people. In Christ, Cyclist |

Greetings Cyclist! Mind if I jump in on this question? :-) The Greek word in Acts 12:4 is 'pascha'. This word can refer to the paschal lamb, feast, supper, or sacrifice. Generally, we would say 'passover'. So, in this case, the NASB would be the better translation. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Brother Tim, You are welcome to jump in on any question, answer, or note that I post to the forum. Thank you for doing so. Should I disregard the KJV? My family has always celebrated the easter holiday with prayer and worship to Jesus and with easter eggs. I have always stressed to them that it is the celebration of Jesus being raised from the dead. My family knows and understands this. After reading some of the postings I must admit that I feel a little ashamed for allowing my children to color eggs at easter time. I know that those who posted these comments are not God and cannot judge anyone, no offense intended, but I would like to see, if you are willing, some more comments with regard to the easter holiday and the coloring of easter eggs, etc... Comments from you as believers with me in Jesus are important to me. That is why I am part of this forum. Please read the following scriptures. How did Paul become as those without law? How did he become as those that are weak? Are these scriptures that do not apply to the subject matter of the original posting about easter? 1 Cor 9:19 For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, so that I may win more. 1 Cor 9:20 To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might win Jews; to those who are under the Law, as under the Law though not being myself under the Law, so that I might win those who are under the Law; 1 Cor 9:21 to those who are without law, as without law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are without law. 1 Cor 9:22 To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some. 1 Cor 9:23 I do all things for the sake of the gospel, so that I may become a fellow partaker of it. In Christ's Love, Cyclist |

Greetings Cyclist! Thanks for the welcome! :-) Don't get me wrong! I wasn't trying to say that there is anything wrong with Easter. I was just saying that the translation of the word 'pascha' as 'Easter' is not a good translation. In all honesty, I haven't even read all of the posts on this thread, so I don't know what everyone else has said. My position is that all holiday's have a mixed background of pagan, secular, and holy. The important thing is what does it mean to you. To me, Easter is the day I celebrate the resurrection of Christ. So, I don't have any problem with Easter, I just would not translate 'pascha' as 'Easter'. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Dear Brother Tim, Please accept my apology. It was never and will never be my intent to drag any one into a disagreement or debate. I probably got a little carried away in my post to you, again, not directed at you. Please, dear brother, know that I am sorry if you felt challenged on this subject. Always in the name of Jesus, Cyclist |

Greetings Cyclist! No apology necessary my friend! :-) I was just afraid that I wasn't clear in my post. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
