| | Just one more, and then I'm done for the moment. Actually, two more little things. First, in Luke 9:4, the rendering "if anyone invites you into their house" is not good for two reasons: "anyone" is singular and doesn't agree grammatically with "their house," and there is nothing in the Greek text about being invited in. A more literal, and simpler, reading would be "whatever house you enter..." Also, for this whole chapter, it may be a good idea to consider not translating the Greek particle και every time the King James has "and" at the beginning of a sentence. (Luke 9: 2-6) It makes for better English to reduce some of those occurrences of "and," and it's a minor thing, as far as the original language is concerned. The modern reader can easily find the endless repetition offputting.--[[User:Caspianrex|Cory Howell]] 16:02, 21 October 2009 (EDT) | | Just one more, and then I'm done for the moment.
