To take another instance from Zechariah, the evangelist John quotes
from the Hebrew, “They shall look on him whom they pierced,” for which we read
in the Septuagint, “And they shall look upon me because they have mocked me,”
and in the Latin version, “And they shall look upon me for the things which
they have mocked or insulted.” Here the evangelist, the Septuagint, and our own
version all differ; yet the divergence of language is atoned by oneness of
spirit. (Jerome, Letter 57.7 [NPNF2 6:116])
