How interesting --- I was just about to post a reply to Solomon, saying,
inter alia:
<
<You are absolutely right about this --- it is Mt 12:28, and that rather
crass use of "overtake" for the traditional " has come upon you" is from
the Jerusalem Bible
Usually, the NJB corrects this kind of thing, but I am even less impressed
with its " then be sure that the kingdom of God has caught you unawares."<<
The NRSV goes as far as saying: " the kingdom of God has come to you.",
as against the more traditional " has come upon you." as in the RSV and NAB
However, I obviously have to revise my ideas now !!
Thanks once more.
