Translation Trouble – Act 2.1

 

AV “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.”

NIV When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.

 

The impoverished NIV reading is not

 

given the term “one accord.”  Webster

 

says “accord” means “To bring into

 

agreement.”  “Together” physically,

 

is not the same as “agreement” as

 

anyone knows who has seen a home

 

disagreement.  Significant?  Surely!
