That is another word which translates from Passover.
It’s valid.
It’s no error.
The pedants fall into their own trap of strictness in translation.

You found it.
The issue is "translations"... especially the newer ones.. as they are decidedly altered.
What is the "culprit"?
Its a "Who".<
Its this one..> = "Hath God said"..
See him? Meet the enemy of God, the enemy of the Born again, the enemy of The Cross of Christ, the human race and The Word of God.
Here is a fact.
God does not need 300 Bibles, that dont agree with each other...but the DEVIL Does.
And something else He does....is He creates this faux fake concept called "Scholarship:", and this is one more way to deceive people.
"Oh, a Scholar wrote it, so it must be TRUE".
"Oh, this Scholar is accepted by many other Scholars""..
"This Scholar has more degrees then a Thermometer".... so "we can TRUST HIM".
No you can't.
You can Trust Paul, you can Trust Christ The Lord, you can Trust the bible, but you have to find the right one.
Let me show you what the devil has done with : BIBLES...
Lets say im preaching. to this Forum......in a Room.
All of the regulars, came to my service..
I say.. ."lets all turn to ... Romans , Chapter...."...
And i start reading...
And i look up.......quickly, as i probably know the verse....and i see people looking at me, or looking around...
Why?
Because my bible verse, is not in their bible......., or its so ALTERED that what im reading, makes no sense regarding their verse, as the Translation TEAM of "Scholars"... has mangled, destroyed, their verse, so that it makes no sense, regarding my Bible.
See that?
That is..>>"The DEVIL is the author of CONFUSION">. and that is why this "errors" situation, is up and running for 100 yrs or more.
The fact is, the Devil has read the bible, probably the Greek, Latin... .. he knows what to CHANGE, and He has his Translators, doing it., just like he has his false ministers, starting new Denominations.

You are referring to the Pesach or Pascha tie???
Funny then that NKJV went back to Passover.
Following are other opinions
The Greek word πάσχα (pascha) is uniformly translated "Passover" with the conspicuous exception of this verse in the KJV. It perpetuates the odd practice of William Tyndale, 1526, who translated "ester" which was copied by Coverdale Bible, 1535, ("Easter"), and the Bishops Bible, 1568, ("Easter").
What's in a name? Passover, Pesach, Pascha & Easter - Accordance (any color changes are mine for emphasis)
What's in a name? Passover, Pesach, Pascha & Easter
The origins of the Jewish Passover can be found in Exodus 12.
The JPS Dictionary of Jewish words describes the traditional Passover observance in its entry, “PESACH”—
Pesach to Pascha
Sometimes you might see mention of Passover, especially when celebrated in non-English traditions, referred to its Hebrew name: פֶּסַח or the English transliteration, pesach. This word occurs about 74 times in the Hebrew Bible. When the Hebrew Bible was translated into Greek (known as the Septuagint, or abbreviated as LXX) beginning around 200 BCE, the Greek word πάσχα/pascha (or variants φασεκ, φασεχ in 2 Chronicles). When the New Testament writings were composed in the first century, the precedent set in the LXX was followed, and pascha was used to refer to the Passover around 29 times.Easter
Interestingly, although using a variety of words to refer to the Passover in both Old and New Testaments, the Latin Vulgate retains pascha for many references to the Passover, especially in the New Testament. In fact, worldwide, most Christians refer to their holiday as “Pascha,” and not “Easter.” Primarily, it is only English-speaking Catholics and Protestants who use the word Easter. Why is this?Not a lot is known for certain about the English word Easter. In fact, everything we know about the word comes from one mention in passing by the Venerable Bede (673-735). According to him, the word referred to an Anglo-Saxon goddess, Ēostre. In his day, the pagan springtime festival honoring the goddess had already been replaced by Christian Pascha celebrations, but the old name for the occasion had still stuck around (see articles in The Encyclopedia of Christianity and The New Unger’s Bible Dictionary for more information). Although some have wanted to connect Ēostre to the Canaanite goddess Asherah, mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, there has not been a definitive connection made to date, to my knowledge. The explanation from Bede is the only real information how “Easter” came to be known for Pascha in English-speaking Christian traditions. English-speaking Orthodox Christians still generally refer to the holiday as Pascha as do most non-English-speaking Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant Christians.
Easton's Bible Dictionary
Originally a Saxon word (Eostre), denoting a goddess of the Saxons, in honour of whom sacrifices were offered about the time of the Passover. Hence the name came to be given to the festival of the Resurrection of Christ, which occured at the time of the Passover. In the early English versions this word was frequently used as the translation of the Greek pascha (the Passover). When the Authorized Version (1611) was formed, the word "passover" was used in all passages in which this word pascha occurred, except in Act 12:4. In the Revised Version the proper word, "passover," is always used.
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
EASTER
es'-ter (pascha, from Aramaic paccha' and Hebrew pecach, the Passover festival):
The English word comes from the Anglo-Saxon Eastre or Estera, a Teutonic goddess to whom sacrifice was offered in April, so the name was transferred to the paschal feast.
The word does not properly occur in Scripture, although the King James Version has it in Acts 12:4 where it stands for Passover, as it is rightly rendered in the Revised Version (British and American). There is no trace of Easter celebration in the New Testament, though some would see an intimation of it in 1 Corinthians 5:7. The Jewish Christians in the early church continued to celebrate the Passover, regarding Christ as the true paschal lamb, and this naturally passed over into a commemoration of the death and resurrection of our Lord, or an Easter feast. This was preceded by a fast, which was considered by one party as ending at the hour of the crucifixion, i.e. at 3 o'clock on Friday, by another as continuing until the hour of the resurrection before dawn on Easter morning. Differences arose as to the time of the Easter celebration, the Jewish Christians naturally fixing it at the time of the Passover feast which was regulated by the paschal moon. According to this reckoning it began on the evening of the 14th day of the moon of the month of Nican without regard to the day of the week, while the GentileChristians identified it with the first day of the week, i.e. the Sunday of the resurrection, irrespective of the day of the month. This latter practice finally prevailed in the church, and those who followed the other reckoning were stigmatized as heretics. But differences arose as to the proper Sunday for the Easter celebration which led to long and bitter controversies. The Council of Nice, 325 A.D., decreed that it should be on Sunday, but did not fix the particular Sunday. It was left to the bishop of Alexandria to determine, since that city was regarded as the authority in astronomical matters and he was to communicate the result of his determination to the other bishops.

If I was good friends with Elon Musk, would I still need my 1998 Ford Expedition?It’s like saying we don’t need our cars because our relationship with the car maker is more important.
Ridiculous philosophy.

Understood.
But you are a bible reader and follower.
Is the KJV your choice?
Generally my go to has been the NASB95 and follow-up with the Peshitta. (And Septuagint LXX)... for... shall we say... everyday conversations.

That’s much ado about nothing.
Having this one instance of the word “Easter” in the KJV affects nothing regarding truth and righteousness.

Perhaps various denominations believe the Bible has contradictions, I don't know. But I suspect that the majority of folks who accuse the Bible of contradictions are atheists and former Christians.

Everyone should find and join a bible believing church, and bring your family.
Plant.
Grow there, be a part of it... Invest time, money, prayer, into that Local Assembly.
If they have a choir, then sing in it. Get your kids in it.
If they have an Orchestra, then gets your kids involved.
That does not include any assembly that teaches Calvinism, and similar cult theologies., such as the one where they teach that "Mary flew to Heaven in her body, because she never died"..
So, keep your eyes on that., as some "doctrine" is even crazier.
Steer clear of theology that turns you into this..
"Hello, are you a Christian"..
"Yes, im a Calvinist"
"Hello, are you a Christian"
"Yes, im a Catholic"
"Hello, are you a CHRISTIAN"..
"Yes, im a DENOMINATiON"....so feel free to insert yours @BarneyFife
Paul was not a Denomination.
Didn't you know?
Paul led believers to Christ and then he wrote letters to the "CHURCH at"...
Corinth
Galatia
Ephesis
(for example).
See those?
Those are not "denominations"
DENOMINATIONS are Man - Made, not God made.
Satan is the cause of confusion and every evil work.
This is why there is ONE BODY,, ONE CHURCH....yet there are 200 Denominations in the USA, and 45,000 Denominations in the World.

The verse you quote confirms what I claim !!!
He wouldn't have needed to make this request if he was writing down all the words he had delivered in the past.
Jesus knows I love the bible - please refrain from false accusation.
It stands that when he prophesied it was Jesus speaking through him - he was not reading scripture but speaking forth the eternal Word of God given by the unction of the Holy Spirit of Jesus upon him.

As if to say someone who wants you to support your assertions with Scripture is an idolator?
I'll bet you cannot back that up with Scripture.
Seriously, that is faulty reasoning, but I'm guessing you know better anyway.
Much love!
Who, or what, is the bibliolators god? Do they worship the book more than the author?
I know it's a bitter pill. But it needs to be addressed. IMHO
