As has been said a few different ways: it's all in the translations.....I was indoctrinated with the King James Version, you know, the one that is 100 % accurate, up to knowing which books to leave out after the council of Nicaea... So in that light, the quote is correct :)

But that's the problem in reading an English translation of a 2000-yr old text. Too many handlers have intervened, one must assume the purity of the original has been compromised.
