Hi Thump,
I just joined the forum. I read a few months back that hackneyed phrase “Peace on earth and goodwill to all men” is actually a mistranslation!  

Luke 2:14 English Standard Version (ESV)

14 “Glory to God in the highest,
    and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”

and KJV changed it to ;
Luke 2:14King James Version (KJV)

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Ain't that a bitch....Hehe

Good research and welcome! Cheers!
