Christopher Glyn's Jesus is angry and I kind of dig it.
Because of my seminary work, I'm maybe more familiar with Matthew than any other book of the Bible, and I definitely think the King James translation is clumsy in this book, leaving a lot to be desired. But there are definitely iconic passages here that still resound down the ages, their echo being heard in modern and better translations. For instance, let's be real and admit that when most people think of the Lord's Prayer (or maybe the Sermon on the Mount, in general), it's the KJV that they hear in their head.
