These in Bethany happened

Thanks for sharing this with us, Greg. Very interesting, and if true it answers the question quite good. I didn't know that Origin had changed the word out like that and it come into use in subsequent Greek texts ...and thus caused the confusion.

If so, this is an example of how it is supper important not to take liberties in a translation and add your own word in, thinking it will be harmless, trying to make things "more clear", when God didn't see fit to use the word in the 1st place, when He had his Apostles compose the original text, for good reason.

The Aramaic New Testament comes through again... <!-- sSmile --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /><!-- sSmile -->

When we change things like this, we try to re-write history, thinking we are doing a better job of what has already been written.

As a side note: Speaking of that type thing...I just got back home from watching the new "Noah" movie with Russel Crowe as "Noah"...and the only thing that it has in common with the actual accounts in The Bible, is that his name was Noah, he had three sons with their certain names, and his grand-father was named Methuselah...oh, and there was a worldwide flood of water, and that Noah built an ark to survive it and save the animal kingdom. Everything else pretty much is a brand new tale, which has nothing to do with the actual events described in The Bible.

But, it makes for a good movie if nothing else I guess, and better than the Gilgamesh version of the original account too I think... I got a bit of a laugh as well, when they named one of the "Watchers" (fallen angels/Giants) "Og". It seems the writers knew a bit more about the Bible than the part about the flood.
