The whole verse is included as inspired Scripture spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ in the following Bibles: The Vulgate 425 A.D., Wycliffe 1395, Tyndale 1525, Coverdale 1535, Bishop's Bible 1568, Geneva Bible 1599, Wesley 1755, Webster's 1833, Young's, Darby's, World English Bible, Hebrew Names Version, New Life Bible 1969, NKJV, KJV 21, TMB, Green's Modern KJV, and it is placed back in the text without brackets by the new 2003 International Standard Version.
Again, we see the total inconsistency of the modern "scientific" scholars. What one denies as inspired Scripture, another affirms to be the very words of God.
