In [Acts 20:6] Paul is marking time by referencing the "Days of Unleavened" (Passover) and in verse 16....Pentecost. This is why the term "Sabbatwn" in used. It refers to those days.....and not the first day of the week! In verse 7 which is usually translated as "The first day of the Week" it should actually say "On one of the Sabbaths. Which one? One of the Sabbaths between Passover and Pentecost.

You know as I said in my last post I just finally understood this tonight. I've seen you say this a billion times but it didn't sink in. I'm afraid I don't have much hope for anyone believing or understanding. I've known about the sabbath counts, the weeks, between Passover and Pentecost for 6 years and knew that "first day of the week" contained sabbatwn, but couldn't link them until tonight. At any rate it's a fantastic revelation and it really makes those scriptures comes alive.

By the way, I don't know if you use the bible program "E-Sword" or not, but I'm in the process of porting the Concordant Publishing Concern of the New Testament (the translation referred to multiple time in the article) over to an E-Sword Bible module. I'm about a third of the way done and if you need a copy let me know. It's not copyrighted if it's used for private use.

Thank you so much for your consideration. I have used E-Sword in the past.....but not recently. It sounds like you are in the middle of a great undertaking....and yes, I would like to know more about your endeavor.....and a possible copy.

Thank you again.
