CAN YOUR VERSION COUNT TO TEN?

MORE than 10 days: (Acts 25:6)

KJB And when he had tarried among them more than ten days

Nkjv And when he had remained among them
more than ten days,  

10 days or LESS:

DOUAY And having tarried among them no more than eight or ten days

ESV After he stayed among them
not more than eight or ten days

ASV And when he had tarried among them
not more than eight or ten days

NASB After he had spent
not more than eight or ten days among them

CEB He stayed with them for
no more than eight or ten days

HCS When he had spent
not more than eight or 10 days among them

NLT About
eight or ten days later Festus returned

Mes About
eight or ten days later, Festus returned

NIV After spending
eight or ten days with them, Festus went

TNIV After spending
eight or ten days with them, Festus went

CEV Festus stayed in Jerusalem for
eight or ten more days before going

GNT Festus spent another
eight or ten days with them 

Which reading is TRUE? Can the FALSE readings be the word of God? Should you trust a Bible version that can't count to ten? This is not just a synonymous word. This is an error of FACT that disqualifies the modern versions as the word of God.

  1. Nestlé-Aland 28 for this verse:
    Διατρίψας δὲ ἐν αὐτοῖς ἡμέρας οὐ πλείους ὀκτὼ ἢ δέκα, καταβὰς εἰς Καισάρειαν, τῇ ἐπαύριον καθίσας ἐπὶ τοῦ βήματος ἐκέλευσεν τὸν Παῦλον ἀχθῆναι.

    Now, οὐ πλείους ὀκτὼ ἢ δέκα analyses "no more [than] eight or ten".

    I think the KJB is the one with an error of fact.

  2. Since we have now had 28 Nestle-Aland texts, with significant changes, I wonder how it reads in the previous 27?

    I do know that the textus receptus (pick one, Stephanus, Beza, Erasmus, etc.) reads with the KJB.

    So you are choosing the mss that have Methuselah live beyond the flood, Goliath as only 6'6, the soldier kill Jesus with his spear, Jesus praying for His disciples to be left with Satan, death being swallowed up in controversy (instead of victory), a Jesus who was a created being, and dozens of other errors, blasphemies, and heresies.

    So I think it's your Nestles (take 28!) that is obviously in error here.
