Jesus said he was not bruised by bandits, but by the brethren (Zechariah 13:6). "I was wounded in the house of my friends." Among new version editors, such a 'friend' "struck Jesus with the palm of his hand" (John 18:22) over 100 times as it couched the pelts of his pen. Before "they struck him on the face".. ."they had blindfolded him" (Luke 22:64). Likewise, the frontal assault of these 'friends' attempts to leave Christians groping in the dark world of 'Greek- speak'. D.A. Carson is first in line.

I suppose that no doctrine is more repeatedly thought to be under attack in the non-Byzantine tradition [new versions] than the doctrine of the deity of Christ. To prove [this wrong]. . .in detail would presuppose in the reader a fair degree of competence in the Greek, so I shall pass up the opportunity.6
