Subject: A possible translation error? (Lk 2:2) |
Bible Note: YES ... this is precisely what I'm talking about. The census would have been the census BEFORE Judas the Galilean, which is the one I mentioned. Cyrenius' census is the one that "started the trouble" with Judas, and I think Matthias is the name of the co-conspirator. This one was in the 8 ADish area. The census when Jesus was born was in the 8-3 BC area; the lustrum performed by Augustus during the reign of Herod the Great. I'm sure I can find that commentary, but you'd be doing me a favor if you just quote what it is you are wanting me to look at (within the bounds of reasonable size for this forum). Theo-Minor |
