Easter
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
EASTER (AV [Note: Authorized Version.] of Acts 12:4; RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘the Passover’). The anachronism of AV [Note: Authorized Version.] was inherited from older VSS [Note: SS Versions.] which avoided, as far as possible, expressions which could not be understood by the people.
