Verse 30: * While King David is not normally called a prophet in the Bible, Gustave may be considered correct in suggesting the in Verse 30, it is King David that is identified as a prophet. * Gustave has cited the verse from the KJV. The textual evidence for the KJV reading, which mentions Christ directly, is lacking. More modern versions, such as the NIV, read similar to: " . . . God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on hl\is throne, . . ." Verse 31: * In both the KJV and versions such as the NIV, Christ is clearly cited. Again, Gustave is not in error in suggesting the Christ is the focus of the statement. * The KJV tells us that the soul of Christ was not left in hell, while versions such as the NIV state that Christ was not left in the Grave. My purpose has not been to comment on the fundamental understanding of the passage that Gustave has stated. I will leave it to you to consider his understanding. Rather, my purpose has been simply to suggest slight changes in wording that are reflected in more modern translations of the Bible.
