Jesus' quotes convey knowledge and guidance through symbolism (as dreams do). The less paraphrased, translated and interpreted, the less distorted.
Nothing from the gospels should be taken ad litteram.
Faith in a distorted message is a waste, as in this gospel's verse about sowing. Should anybody take that risk? No, because that would mean to succumb to ignorance .. see the lion verse.
