Bible Question: Cyrenius was governor of Syria. Does anyone know in what year and/or month this was? |
Bible Answer: Cyrenius, which is used in the KJV, is called Quirinius in the NASV. Reading through my books (New Illustrated Bible Dictionary and Who's Who and Where's Where int the Bible), there is some discussion on how Quirinius was governor. Some believe that he was a two term governor, with the first term being served during Christ birth and then at 6 AD. Others feel that he served as a military co-governor during the birth of Christ along with Quirinius Varus. Varus and Quirinius sharing civil duties. |
