FJ, the most painstaking translation I know of is the New American Standard Bible. It relates this passage as follows:

Well, I don't go by the NASB as it is Protestant first of all and secondly I think that these modern translations are a mess. People are putting all kinds of language in the Bible that wasn't meant to be there and it can the total dynamics of some aspects of Scripture.

Douay-Rheims comes directly from the Latin vulgate. And it includes the books Luther tried to burn.

...which is the reason for the NASB.

Two questions, for my fellow, beloved and respected priests in Christ:

A. How can Roman Catholics (or Christians of any other denomination) possibly justify their exaltation of any of the clergy (to say nothing with there being a unique "vicar") with the following?:

Matthew 23
1Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples,
8"But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers.
9"Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.
10"Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ.
11" But the greatest among you shall be your servant.
12" Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.

B. Where in the New Testament, is "priest" related as an office of the church? (Instead, the Holy Word teaches that all Christians are priests, under our High Priest and Lamb of God. Period.)
