ACTS123

CAN THERE BE ANY JUSTIFICATION FOR THE USE OF THE WORD "EASTER" IN THE BIBLE?

Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certainof the church. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.) 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.

It has been said by some, attempting to defend the King James translators, that the day of passover was over and that the 7 day feast of unleavened bread, which was being celebrated at that time, was not actually passover.

They say that Herod was waiting until after a Roman festival day in honor of a pagan goddess before bringing Peter forth to the people.

Some say that the King James translators were justified to use the name of a pagan goddess from their own time period (EASTER).
