First, I am not sure why you said that Jesus and his disciples used translations written by men. The scrolls they used were in Hebrew. The letters were in a slightly different style than the original, but this was a transliteration not a translation. In any event, Jesus is the Word incarnate so He knew them in the original, so to speak ;-).

“I am not sure why you said that Jesus and his disciples used translations written by men.”

I’m sure that’s right, but most of the time when Jesus and the apostles quoted from the Old Testament, they quoted the Septuagint, a Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament.

Since you said that there are no English words in the Holy Scriptures, is your favorite English translation the Holy Scriptures?
