This dissertation analyses the differences between 27 different translations of the same text, the part of the Gospel of Luke that describes the relationship between Jesus and Zacchaeus. The introduction discusses the terms related to the branches of linguistics, especially semantics and its subtypes, which are associated with translation problems in the fields of language and literature. The second part of the paper presents complete translations and general differences between translations according to previously published research, including translations in the biblical or any other writing style. In its third part, the paper deals with semantic differences in order to compare semantic features and semantic differences that cause different understandings of the text. Differences are broken down line by line to gain insight into the full text and determine semantic differences between different editions. It is shown how different translations, due to the choice of different lexical and grammatical solutions, create different meanings, so different views on the same event are shown, but they also give the impression that these are several different events based on the mentioned one. The fourth section discusses six different translations by six authors, each with at least four or more different editions. The translations of the same author are compared, including the translation by Gracijan Raspudić for the purpose of comparison with the translations of Ljudevit Rupčić in the 1961 edition. By comparing them with all other translations, conclusions are drawn as to whether different editions of an author's translation are really a version of one, first or previous translation, or a new translation.
