Elsie: Translation: Translators are stupid.
Sometimes, yes. NWT. Ask Julius R. Mantey (click here), whom the Watchtower Tract Society misquotes. But it's not the who give the sense of the translation, it's the interpreters who try to tell you what was on the mind of the writers. Or on the mind of the subjects (i. e. Caiaphas) of whom they are writing. Or on the mind of God (click here), for those who are really daring and want to go beyond the Holy Spirit's words (NIV, for instance).
forgot you on Post #230, sorry
There just HAS to be some reason for SLC to NOT claim IT as 'scripture'!
