And even the four accepted gospels are not always in agreement with each other.
If people are so concerned about any changes in meaning due to different translations then they could always learn Koine Greek to read the original texts of the New Testament. Or perhaps even Aramaic or Hebrew. And they might be surprised by what they read.
But even so, they would only be reading things written decades after the events, and who knows what distortions might have crept in. Perhaps Jesus really did say "Blessed are the cheesemakers ...".
