Good morning Chickenlady, good morning PJM, good morning everybody,
As Lionel Blue might put it.

I quite like the King James version too, some beautiful language with very deep resonances.

I was watching Ben Hur yesterday (well, it was Mothers' Day) and I was wondering how Judah Ben Hur had got hold of a copy of the King James bible in A.D.33. He was quoting (or it might have been Esther, come to think of it) the Sermon on the Mount: 'Blessed [that's bless-ed, as in Brian] are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God' etc. etc. Maybe he had a time machine as well as a chariot.
