Talk:John 15-21 (Translated) (view source)
Revision as of 12:49, November 23, 2015
, 12:49, November 23, 2015→Kings and co.: new section
I didn't want to editorialize and I'm happy with the current version. I just wanted to make the '''three year old phrase''' '' However, no ancient manuscript of John that actually ends at 20:31, so, if John 21 is an addition, the addition occurred immediately after the original text was finished'' into a sentence. --[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] 14:13, 27 September 2012 (EDT)

== Kings and co. ==
I don't understand the rationale of exchanging "king" with "ruler" or "leader":
*the Greeks had quite good words for "ruler" - like ἀρχός
*obviously, a king in the first century differs from a king in modern times: but the same holds true for virtually all other professions mentioned in the Bible
I suppose this "translation" is insight-driven again, so I just register my protest, and spare me the time to bring up dictionaries or actual facts about Greek vocabulary. --[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] ([[User talk:AugustO|talk]]) 07:49, 23 November 2015 (EST)
