Oops

When earlier today I published my post about Mark's use of the diminutive for "daughter" in Mark 5:23, I forgot to mention that I found at least one German and one Spanish translation that properly bring out this nuance. The Schlachter New Testament reads "Mein Töchterlein" instead of Luther's "Meine Tochter." That is simply brilliant. 

As for Spanish, I was very happy to see that La Biblia de las Américas reads, "Mi hijita." To all who worked so hard on producing these Bible translations, thanks for helping us know and love the Savior through his word.
