Retranslation at rate of 20 verses a day would complete the entire [[New Testament]] in about a year.  With 5 good retranslators, that would be an average of only 4 verses a day per translator.  At a faster rate of 20 verses per day by 5 good translators, the entire [[New Testament]] could be retranslated in less than 3 months.

Is this a corruption of the original, perhaps promoted by [[liberal]]s without regard to its authenticity?  This does not appear in any other Gospel, and the simple fact is that some of the persecutors of Jesus '''''did''''' know what they were doing.  This quotation is a favorite of liberals, although it does not appear in the earliest and best manuscripts of the Gospel of Luke. It should not appear in a [[conservative]] Bible, because in point of fact Jesus might never had said it at all.

It should not appear in a [[conservative]] Bible, because in point of fact Jesus might never had said it at all, although there is no evidence to support this claim either way. The message is seemingly benign, and devoid of politics, which could serve as a reason for it to remain in the text.
