I agree, but it takes a certain mindset to want to look up the original language and educate yourself in how ancient Geek and Hebrew work, but I'm an engineer. Most people aren't wired like that.
It's easier than ever to do. I use blueletter bible.org

Luke 4 :: King James Version (KJV)
Luke 4 - And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

I open the BLB in a different tab than my BibleGateway.com and BLB has many translations so you can easily go to your translation and look up the exact word that they used in your translation and see exactly what word in Greek or Hebrew that it was translated from. And there is a lot of information on that site about the languages, and the other places in scripture that you find that word and just about everything you can imagine. I dont know Greek or Hebrew, and I aint very computer literate and I find it easy for me! It just click click click, Scripture, verse tools, definition! ust that fast so it's Free and totally worth it to go explore BLB website and run everything through the concordance. If I can do it, anyone can! You get used to it and then it's real fast.
What's really cool is when you realize through reading the definition and usage of the word in the original language and you realize the translators were sleepig that day they translated it! That by applying a different definition or useage to the word it can make the entire passage take on a new meaning or fits even better than the way that the sleepy translators did it! It's worth it.
