While researching this verse this week, I noticed that the KJV renders
this word as "body." What is strange is the fact that even Strong's
number on the word references SWMA (body) instead of PTWMA (corpse)!
Can anyone please supply the history behind this confusion? My
assumption is that at one time some thought it disrespectful to call
Jesus' dead body a "corpse," but I don't know why Strong got this
incorrect. Is this just a mistake on his part? Or is there more to it?
Thanks,
Wes
