J. Reuben Clark, Jr. on the JST being more of a "recension through inspriation" than a Normal "Translation"

  

I said that seemed to me to be completely sound, because the Prophet’s so-called translation (I said, the Prophet, of course, did not translate because he had no manuscripts from which to translate, that he really made a recension through inspiration) in all cases that I found, followed the Authorized Version, thus giving his stamp of approval to the Authorized Version.
