I received an email from someone who printed and read my translation of the Gospel of Luke.

Here is the text of his email:

Hi I have had a bit of a strange experiance this evening and just thought i would share it with you it may seem odd so pelase forgive me but it is as follows:
for christmas my partner bought me the comedy series ‘The Vicar of Dibley’ now i have seen this many many times before and just yesterday started watching it again and one of the episodes ‘Winter’ (in which a charector gives birth on Christmass day while playing the role of Mary in the Nativity) has hit me there was a small section where ‘the vicar’ is explaing about The Greatest Story Ever Told with the usual comic overtones from the other players in the scene BUT when she expalins that the birth of a small child 2000yrs ago is still be celebrated today just something struck me so i went online and looked up the Gospel According to Luke (as i studied this at school) and went through Wikipedia but then looking for a download stumbled upon your PDF (thank you very much) so this is where it really starts to get strange as i decided to print it off and just took out a wad of paper to put into my printer and had too many sheets to fit the tray so took some out and just started printing – now what is strange is when the final sheet went through i had unexpectedly placed the exact number of sheets of paper (64) in my printers tray – now this may well just be a coincidence or it may not i dont know but i just felt compelled top share it with you. I’m not a religous man and never have been although i would say i have always believed that there must be more to ‘this’ than just our lives here on earth si its been a strange evening all round for me tonight.
Forgive me for rambling and any typo’s as i’m sure there must be plenty i just thought you would like to know this
Kind regards
Ian Sarsfield

I keep hearing woman say “Men are so simple.” If that is true, then you have absolutely no excuse for not meeting your man’s needs.

I am certain that God does not give you credit for giving to the poor by virtue of you voting for a politician who supports a government policy of taking money from people who have more money and giving it to the poor. You are only credited for what you actually personally sacrifice and personally give to a poor person you know. I am certain of this.

I just uploaded an update of my translation of the Gospel of Mark. What I updated was the critical footnote apparatus for chapter 1 verse 41, ORGISQEIS vs. SPlAGCNISQEIS. Jeff Cate has pointed out that the apparatuses out there were in error regarding MSS 783 and 1358.

This Greek variant in Codex D and some old Latin texts has Jesus becoming angry, as opposed to being filled with compassion as it is read in all other Greek manuscripts.
