(WS) Matthew 27:49 - KJV
- Original: The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
- Correction: The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him. Then another took a spear and pierced his side, and out came water and blood.
"The latter half of this verse, which includes the words '..Then another took a spear and...out came water and blood.' has been omitted from the King James Version. However, some ancient manuscripts contain this part of the verse. The latter part of the verse is also found in other manuscripts that are designated by letter (L, T, Z) and by number (33, 49, 892 and 1241). Older translations which contain the complete verse are the Moffatt translation and the Fenton translation. Newer translations generally footnote this portion of Matthew 27:49 rather than including it in the text. The weight of evidence indicates that the latter half of the verse is an authentic part of the Greek text and should be included in translations of the New Testament. The veracity of this portion of Matthew 27:49 is substantiated by the records in John 19:34 and 20:27."
