The chart below illustrates what was done when the text used by Christianity for 1800 years was replaced with a text assembled by Brook Foss Westcott and Fenton John Anthony Hort in the nineteenth century and used as the basis for the English Revised Version, which nearly all modern translations closely follow.
The text shown here is the King James Version. Words, sentences, or entire verses in
Compare your modern version and see what the KJV has that yours doesn't. This list is not comprehensive, it is just a sample! The modern critical text that forms the basis for nearly all modern versions omits the equivalent of the entire books of 1st and 2nd Peter.
Critics commonly charge that the traditional Bible text used by believers for 1800 years adds
material, and that we should be thankful for Westcott and Hort who came
along in the 19th century to restore the text of the New Testament that
had been corrupt for 1800 years and during the entire reformation. This
charge is of course made against evidence to the contrary, as
you will find if you research the text lines (read other articles on
this website). Further, it is interesting to note that one of these
verses is this:
Romans 13:9: For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.The phrase "thou shalt not bear false witness" is missing from the modern critical text (and therefor most modern versions). Now I ask you: is it reasonable to assume that a scribe added a self-incriminating phrase to the passage? Isn't it more likely that "those who corrupt the word of God" (2 Cor. 2:17, KJV) removed the phrase which indicted them?
Now on to Westcott and Hort's Magic Marker Binge!
(Part 1: Matthew - John)
Matthew | |
1:25 | And knew her not till she had brought forth her |
5:44 | But I say unto you, Love your enemies, |
6:13 | And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: |
6:33 | But seek ye first the kingdom |
8:29 | And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, |
9:13 | But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will
have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous,
but sinners |
12:35 | A good man out of the good treasure |
13:51 | |
15:8 | This people |
16:3 | And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. |

17:21 | |
18:11 | |
19:9 | And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away
his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery: |
19:17 | And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, |
20:7 | They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; |
20:16 | So the last shall be first, and the first last: |
20:22 | But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, |
23:14 | |
25:13 | Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour |
27:35 | And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: |
28:9 | And |
Mark | |
1:14 | Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel |
1:31 | And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and |
2:17 | When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They
that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I
came not to call the righteous, but sinners |
6:11 | And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear
you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a
testimony against them. |
6:16 | But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen |
7:8 | For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, |
7:16 | |
9:24 | And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, |
9:42 | And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe |
9:44 | |
9:46 | |
9:49 | For every one shall be salted with fire, |
10:21 | Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said
unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast,
and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come,
|
11:10 | Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh |
13:14 | But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, |
13:33 | Take ye heed, watch |
14:68 | But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; |
15:28 | |
16:9-20 |
|
Luke | |
1:28 | And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: |
4:4 | And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, |
4:8 | And Jesus answered and said unto him, |
4:41 | And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art |
7:31 | |
9:54-56 | And when his disciples James and John saw
this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from
heaven, and consume them, |
11:2-4 | And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father |
11:29 | And when the people were gathered thick
together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign;
and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas |
17:36 | |
21:4 | For all these have of their abundance |
22:31 | |
22:64 | And when they had blindfolded him, |
23:17 | |
23:38 | And a superscription also was written over him in |
23:42 | And he said unto Jesus, |
24:6 | |
24:40 | |
24:49 | And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city |
24:51 | And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, |
John | |
1:14 | And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only |
1:27 | He it is, who coming after me is |
3:13 | And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man |
3:15 | That whosoever believeth in him |
4:42 | And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not
because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that
this is indeed |
5:3-4 | In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, |
6:47 | Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth |
6:69 | And we believe and are sure that thou art |
11:41 | Then they took away the stone from the place |
16:16 | A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, |
17:12 | While I was with them |
(Part 2: Acts - Revelation)
Acts | |
2:30 | Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, |
7:30 | And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel |
7:37 | This is that Moses, which said unto the
children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you
of your brethren, like unto me; |
8:37 | |
9:5-6 | And he said, Who art thou, Lord? |
10:6 | He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: |
16:31 | And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus |
17:26 | And hath made of one |
20:25 | And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom |
20:32 | And now, |
23:9 | And there arose a great cry: and the scribes
that were of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no
evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, |
24:6-8 | Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, |
24:15 | And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection |
28:16 | And when we came to Rome, |
28:29 | |
Romans | |
1:16 | For I am not ashamed of the gospel |
1:29 | Being filled with all unrighteousness, |
8:1 | There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, |
9:28 | For he will finish the work, and cut it short |
10:15 | And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel |
11:6 | And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. |
13:9 | For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, |
14:21 | It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, |
15:29 | And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing |
16:24 | |
1 Corinthians | |
1:14 | |
5:7 | Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed |
6:20 | For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, |
7:5 | Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to |
10:28 | But if any man say unto you, This is offered in
sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for
conscience sake: |
11:24 | And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, |
11:29 | For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the |
15:47 | The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is |
16:22-23 | If any man love not the Lord |
2 Corinthians | |
4:6 | For God, who commanded the light to shine out
of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the
knowledge of the glory of God in the face of |

11:31 | The God and Father of our Lord Jesus |
Galations | |

6:15 | For |
6:17 | From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the |
Ephesians | |

of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in
God, who created all things |
