What is most disturbing is that professing Christians RESIST THE TRUTH.
As we can see from the results of the polls, those who are resisting the truth are in the majority. They refuse to believe that the modern bible versions are ALL corrupt therefore they must ALL be discarded. They also refuse to search out this matter as you have said -- dig in and dig out the truth.
But we can also see that -- in this present evil world -- the power of the lie is greater than the power of the truth. This not only applies to Bible versions, but false doctrines, and also the lies that are promoted daily by the media and politicians. And we are told in the Bible that Satan's primary weapon in deception (lies). Therefore Christian are warned to beware of false apostles, false prophets and false teachers. Now we can also add false bibles.

ALL MODERN VERSIONS WERE BASED UPON A MAJOR HOAX. THAT THE MOST CORRUPT MANUSCRIPTS ARE THE BEST.
How did this come about? If you want the truth obtain a copy of The Revision Revised by John William Burgon and have your eyes opened. Reprints are available from this source:
http://biblefortoday.org
Burgon's other books are also available there. And Dean Burgon was a genuine New Testament scholar who actually collated manuscripts and devoted his life to this work. He was highly regarded by the leading scholar of the 19th century -- F.H. A. Scrivener. And the feeling was mutual.

Your correct it was Herod who was trying to please the Jews.
Acts 12
3And seeing that this pleased the Jews, Herod proceeded to seize Peter during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
the wordage isn’t about peter and other believers it was about what Herod was doing to please the Jews thus Passover is the better choice for that verse 4
Acts 12
3And seeing that this pleased the Jews, Herod proceeded to seize Peter during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
the wordage isn’t about peter and other believers it was about what Herod was doing to please the Jews thus Passover is the better choice for that verse 4
Thus both read together we can see it was about Jewish festivals
Acts 12 3/4
3And seeing that this pleased the Jews, Herod proceeded to seize Peter during the Feast of Unleavened Bread. 4He arrested him and put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out to the people after the Passover.

Muslim clerics often claim that the Bible is corrupt and unauthentic. They claim the church has corrupted the biblical texts so that only the Qur’an preserves the genuine message of God. You are helping their cause and hurting your brothers with this treacherous, hostile nonsense.

What value does the Bible add to our life? I have found that when you read the Bible it is best to start at the beginning. The first word in the Bible is the word Beginning. So to put the entire Bible in perspective it is a good idea to ask when was the beginning. God calls this the foundation of the world and this gives us something to build on. In the construction business with the exception of pole barns, you have to have a foundation to build on. The government inspectors require that and Jesus teaches we need to build on a foundation.
This is irrelevant to my stance. I hold that revisions are good. The opponent held that revisions are bad. You can research what all has been changed in the 1611 KJV or how many times, doesn't matter to me.
Doesn't matter if it's the KJV, the KJ21, the NKJV, or the AKJV.
KJV only folks try to promote as something above than what is. It is a translation written in old English that has been revised throughout history to become even more accurate. Most modern ones have done the same but only dropped the old English translation. The Bible wasn't written in old English so any English translation is just the publishers closest English to Hebrew/greek word they feel is the closest meaning.
Really though with as much criticism, technology, and discoveries we have on the manuscripts of scripture. It couldn't be easy to hide and promote a false Bible or as some say all modern versions are corrupt.

I am a dispensationalist so I believe a day is 1,000 year. Yet I still believe in a literal 24 hour day if you go back 12,990 years to the beginning of the age or era that we live in. There was a massive extinction at the time. This is when the Whooly Mamonth and Saber tooth tiger went extinct. God marks this event with a Nanodiamond comet. I am not saying this is a cause, just a marker. Genesis 1:2 tells us: "Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep". We know that the earth had been hit by a comet and the dust from that comet would have created darkness on the earth. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/01/090101172136.htm
In the beginning there were four elements: hydrogen - helium with traces of lithium & beryllium. Soon stars were formed and the other elements were produced in the furnace of a star.

Muslims attack the true Bible. But deluded lower critics also attack the true Bible. And that is how we ended up with a score of false bibles. And that has given Muslims a greater opportunity to attack the true Bible.
What you (and others) should be doing is carefully researching the origin of the modern bible version issue. Which you obviously have not done. Do you know that the Higher Critics were up to? And do you know what the Lower Critics were up to? It is so-called Christian scholars who attacked the Bible more vigorously than any Muslim.

We are not only to live by every letter, we are to live by every stroke of the pen. Some letters require 4 strokes to make and each one has a meaning that is infinite. This is why Jesus says: "For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished." (Matthew 5:18)
