I really DON'T think this is an appropriate topic for B-Greek: you might
take it to B-Translation. It is an interesting question, but I think the
question ought first to be raised whether the NT itself has at least some
passages that lend themselves to an anti-Semitic interpretation--that is to
say, it may not be simply a matter of translation.

BUT this is a question that is raised about a translation, not about the
Greek text, and I think it really is out of order to discuss it on B-Greek.
