Excerpt: ... One example more. The verb " to trouble" is a very favorite one with our translators. There are no less than ten Greek words or phrases which it is employed by them to render; these, namely: raroi/c irapi-xo (Matt. xxvL, 10), maiKku (Mark v., 35), liarapaaau (Luke i., 29), Tvpfiufa (Luke x., 41), Traptvo)(iii (Acts xv., 19), OopvfUopai (Acts XX., 10), rapaaohi (Gal. i., 7), ayaararuia (Gal. v., 12), 0X//3w (2 Thess. i., 6), ivox Xtu (Heb. xii., 15).

It may be said of their version, in comparison with those which went before, that it occupies very much the place which the Vulgate did in regard of the Latin versions preceding.
