[Faith-talk] Question on Gospel

[Tom Vos]

George,
If you have a different reference, I'd be glad to check it for you.
Usually when a verse is missing in a translation, it's not because someone
has arbitrarily chosen to throw something out of God's Word.
Translators are faced with the challenge of sorting through manuscripts, and
one manuscript might not be as reliable as another.
It is possible that scholars might reasonably conclude that a certain verse
was probably not part of the original writing, and sometime down through the
years, by mistake or intention, a scribe or translator put it in.
Please realize that these decisions are made carefully, and with good
reason.
If you can give us a specific reference, some of us have resources that
would help us explain why a particular verse is not included.
Blessings,
Tom
