that crew has become a worldly
symbol of betrayal and 1t is to be
found in many types OF English

The Bible has been criticized for
phrases of awkward expression, and

Thus, they that stood by" becomes

Better Interpretation Aim.
; Students of the Bible will remem-
ber a small riot at Thessalonica
wherein some wicked men of the
vulgar sort" are mentioned in the
Book of Acts. In the new text these
men lost none of their wickedness,
but become just base loafers," also,
men that were murderer" become
merely "assassins," and money
lender" becomes creditor"
Striving for better diction, the
students have changed bodies

to heavenly bodies and earthly"
bodies" One of the most complete
changes is in Hebrew will, where

Revised New 7estuments
Contain Simpler Phrases
Hundreds of Old Fovortes Give Way
To More Direct and Readable Diction

When Catholics of the English
speaking world receive their revised
New TestamentS on Biblical Sunday,
May 18, they will find more direct
and readable diction. but hundreds
of age-old phrases that have
become cornerstones of language
will be missing.
Only etymologists realize how
completely the language of the
Scriptures has gone into everyday
speech, but the fact will be brought
home to the layman when he reads
the new Bible. Thus, in the new
version, -four score and four" be-
comes simply '84"; give them to
eat" becomes give them some food"
and gave up the ghost" is now "ex-
pired" or died"
The revised version is the result
Of five years work by eminent
Biblical scholars, and is the first in
100 years. 1t is, in effect, revision
of the Rheims -Challoner text, based
on new research into the ancient
Latin Vulgate. In preface to the
new version, the Episcopal Commit
tee reaffrmed-its, faith i'm the, state
ment that "The word of the Lord
lives forever" but added its convic-
ton that the Challoner version had
suffered loss of value because of pro-
gressive changes in the language.
