:I'm working on the 6th Chapter of Luke, [[Luke 1-8 (Translated)]], and the translation of the Beatitudes (starting around verse 20) create some stark differences with other modern versions. For starters, Jesus directed the Beatitudes to his own disciples, not the public, if the figurative translation of a word is used rather than the literal one. Not all his disciples were "poor" (Matthew wasn't, for example), but all were "powerless", which makes for a possibly superior word choice. In fact, I'm going to check now if the [[ESV]] ever uses the term "powerless".--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 19:16, 12 December 2009 (EST)

:: Excellent example! I'll be sure to use these passages in a few weeks, once more of Luke is translated. Very intriguing about the word "powerless", which I think fits in perfectly. I did a search of the NRSV, and it doesn't use this word anywhere in the New Testament (although it does a few times in the Old). --[[User:FatherJoseph|FatherJoseph]] 19:29, 12 December 2009 (EST)
