Today is international translation day - words matter!

Thanks to Jane Stranz for letting us know; read more at Today is international translation day - words matter!

and, before you go, here are a couple of my favorite "daily" "bread" translations:

"Keep giving us tomorrow's bread today and do so on a daily basis"
--Gospel of Matthew (from the Lord's Prayer), trans. by Ann Nyland

"The Kingdom of the Father is like a woman. She took a little yeast. She buried it in dough. She made the dough into large bread loaves. Whoever has ears should listen!"
--Gospel of Thomas 96, trans. by April DeConick
