Bible Question:
When and how long was Cyrenius governor of Syria (in B.C. times.) |
Bible Answer: Greetings p deems! Luke 2:2 [NASB] "This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria." Luke 2:2 [KJV] (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) Cyrenius and Quirinius were the same person. "2:2 Quirinius was governor of Syria. Apparently he was governor of Syria twice: from 4 B.C. to A.D. 1, when this census was taken, and again in A.D. 6-10." [Ryrie Expanded Edition Study Bible] Blessings to you, Nolan |
