Once on “The Vicar of Dibley,” her church received an old Bible in which many of the s’s looked like f’s – consternating the lector who was reading from it on a national TV broadcast – concluding with, “He shall give thee …” “Succour,” the Vicar interrupted.
It’s funny when I hear Elizabethan English spoken when quoting Jesus (mostly by Evangelicals rather than mainstream Protestants, and hardly at all by Catholics or Orthodoxes.). After all, Jesus spoke his current language Aramaic (he knew Hebrew), not some gussied-up grandiloquent speech to make him sound sanctimonious.
