One of the more notorious translational blunders in the KJV is found at Acts 12:4. It reads: 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.

I had no idea!!!!!

In the KJV NT every italicized word is one that was supplied by the KJV writers to help smooth out translation difficulties. Sometimes it worked, sometimes not.

An interlinear NT of the Stephens text is very enlightening, especially in dealing with KJV only types.

On a separate note, the week Jesus died had two sabbaths; one the the weekly sabbath then the ‘high’ sabbath.

Jesus was arrested and tried then put to death Wednesday afternoon, spent three days and three nights in the grave, and was already up and about when the women and Peter went to his grave.

So Good Friday is just another created holiday that smudges the truth of the Resurrection.
