When something is spoken in Aramaic or Hebrew and later written down from 2nd hand memory in Greek and later translated into Latin and archaic English there are bound to be a few difficulties involved in getting things exact. Not to mention the editing by those with a vested interest. As a side note we all know how several witnesses to the same event can give different versions with no intent at deception.


Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

Jesus: "Take heed that no man deceive you."
