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.

That's cool, I don't really care about its provenance one way or another -- it's the thought that counts to me.

Former firefighter here, USAF variety, 1989-1993. Welcome to the forum.
