Grace,

The only possible reference to Jesus having a beard would be found in Isaiah 50:6 which reads, I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. This is from the King James Version.

Using some of my bible software, I did a side-by-side comparison of various English Bibles. The New King James Version, NIV, ESV, New Living Translation, Amplified Bible, Holman Christian Standard Bible, and a few other English translations use the word beard.

The New King James says, "I gave My back to those who struck Me, And My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard; I did not hide My face from shame and spitting."

In those days, Plucking off the hair on a man's face was a form of punishment that the Jews would use. That can be found in Nehemiah 13:25.

1.In my King James Versio Ecclesiastes has only 12 chapters. Today at Prince Phillip's funeral the 43 rd chapter was read. I found it in a Catholic bible: what happened.: why is it not in th King James version?

2.Also: I read mostly the German Martin Luther Bible: I find no Ecclesiastes there at all

3. What does the word Ecclesiastes mean? ecclesia= church

Thank you for your help
