It's a fictional story, which is why the 'colors of the robe' ...change. Has nothing to do with Greek translations, or anything else. I find it hilarious that Christians take a fictional tale, and add all this 'scholarly sounding' bullshit to it, to make it 'appear' like a true story. Well, if we translate it in Greek it means....this.
It's a bullshit story in any language.
So you say....
But I cannot help but wonder, if it is all just bull as you say, why are you so interested in it?
What you are doing is akin to me spending time in a forum arguing and debating with people and asking them questions about gnomes and leprechauns.
If it is all bull, as you claim, why are you so interested in asking people about bull?
You must like it an awful lot, or either be incredibly bored.

Is this the word of God, or the fallible words of men?
Judge for yourself, for it will be you and you alone who will bear the burden of accepting or rejecting the content of the Bible.
If you judge it to be rubbish then fine. Judge it and move on. Many who have come before you have done just that. Many there will be who will come after you who will do the same.
