That was the closest thing I could find on Bible Gateway but Matthew, Luke, and John 18 all seem to contain a verse 21 in the ASV.

When later translators choose to omit verses or passages, it is usually because archeological and textual research has discovered earlier manuscripts than those used in the 1500s which do not contain these passages.  By earlier, I mean manuscripts which come from periods closer to the time of Christ.
