 Acts 12:4
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.

1997
In the year 1997, the celebration of the Biblical event known
as Passover
was celebrated from April 22nd to April 29th.
Twenty-three days earlier, on March 30th of the same year,
the pagan holiday
known as Easter was celebrated. This was nearly a month sooner than Passover.
Concerning the matter of the King James Version's translation of
Acts 12:4,
and in examining the explanation offered by some that
because Acts 12:3
mentions the days of unleavened bread that
"Passover was already passed",
can you see that such an explanation is given without any reference to a year?
And since it is not, can anyone see that such an explanation is
completely
erroneous? Without a specific designation of year in
which the events of Acts 12:4
occurred, the explanation would have to be dismissed.
