Kevin Bacon and Exegesis

"any modern reader dependent on a translation of the New Testament already stands at five degrees of separation from the New Testament authors and their messages: author, original autograph, copies in Greek, editions of the Greek text, translation, modern reader: Greek-reading students can reduce distance by at least one degree."

Richard J. Erickson, A Beginner's Guide to New Testament Exegesis, 34.
