Usually the RSV is better than the NAB, but not in this case.

No, I was just speaking in general, not about this particular verse.

I taught the Bible as Literature for a number of years, and I used the Oxford edition of the RSV, which had numerous footnotes, including comments by the Church Fathers.

Then, regretably, that went out of print, and Oxford substituted the NRSV. Thankfully, Ignatius Press came out with a Catholic version of the RSV, and I used that. An excellent choice, although regretably lacking all those old Oxford footnotes.
