2 Then Jacob …
Luke 3:1-3 was Luke mistaken about the year in which John the Baptist’s preaching began?
Luke goes into detail concerning the beginning of Christ’s ministry. To quote:
“In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate
being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his
brother Ph…
In 2 Samuel 21:8-10 was Rizpah’s use of the sackcloth a sign that the land had repented of its sin?
[KJV]2 Samuel 21:
8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the…
Did Jesus use a reference to Herod Archelaus in the Parable of the Ten Minas?

"For it was without number" – Numeral system in the time of Genesis 41
Genesis 41:49 (King James Version)
And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.
Without being a perfect equivalent, this english version is very close to the fren…
Would the Pharisees go to Pilate and secure the tomb on the Sabbath?
This is in relation to another post in which the question was asked why the Sabbath was called “the day after the Day of Preparation.”
It strikes me odd that Pharisees would be about this sort of thing on the Sabbath. What were the Pha…

Joshua 21:43(A)Thus the Lord gave to Israel all the land that he swore to give to their fathers. And they took possession of it, and they settled there. 44 (B)And the Lord gave them rest on every side just as…

Is it possible that the soldiers near Pontius Pilate were less in number than the people in the crowd at Jesus’ trial?
Matthew 27:24 KJV — When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but
that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands

Mark 15:…
