A lot of verses are omitted in certain versions. That's why it's always smart to read multiple versions.
I read the Nkjv, Ncv, and revised standard version.
The most correctly translated version is the American Standard.

In fact is not only Matt 18:11 but many verses had been omitted like Matt 17:21, Matt 23:14, Mark 9:44, Act 8:37 and many more. Why so because some people are relating this as devilish plans of those translators and I wish if there is a better explanations to that since I have been using the NIV version very often.

The Bible is a compilation of Biblical manuscripts. Some manuscripts contain entire books, and other manuscripts contain only portions of books, while others, caled a "codex" will have multiple books.
There are basically two groups of texts that Bibles are translated from. Most of the modern translations attempt to translate from the "oldest and most reliable manuscripts." The oldest and most reliable manuscripts do not have this verse.
Another group holds to a "majority text" view means that whichever ancient Bible copies we have the most of, that must be correct. This would include copies used to make the King James Version.
Your question might also be asked, "Why does the KJV add Matthew 18:11?"
A good book for you to read on the subject that is really not too tough to read, but is very convincing is the "King James Version Debate" by D.A. Carson. You also might check the link below which is a little tough to read, but it will give you a better feel for the issue.

Here are a few more that are left out of the newer versions of the Bible Revelation 1:11, 1John 5:7, Acts 4:24, Matthew 8:29,Romans 11:6, Acts 8:37, these are just a few of the changes, not counting the verses they have left the name of God and Christ. So there are a bunch of changes in the newer versions, NASB, NIV and who knows how many others.

The verse is in my Douay-Rheims Bible. I have read different Bibles and found this one to be the easiest to read.
I previously asked why Prophecy Of Daniel
chapter 13 & 14 were omitted in some Holy Bibles.
Maybe it's like the 7 books not in some
Holy Bibles:
Tobias
Judith
Wisdom
Baruch
Ecclesiasticus
Machabees I & II
Even if the verses or books are not in ones Bible, they are worth finding and reading anyways.

Perhaps it's not in some of the older manuscripts surviving of the book of Matthew. I'd have to study the issue to say for sure. That's the first I've heard of that verse being omitted in some versions.
I just checked the ESV version, and that seems to be the case. They say some manuscripts add verse 11.

because they are anti-Christ! Stay with your KJV!!!! All other newer versions are tainted. When reading all other versions it causes God's word to contradict but the KJV does not contradict. Please put away those blasphemous versions and get back to Gods preserved word! Nothing was ever done like this before or will be, when it comes to a complete version, God promised to keep it and by studying every version, I have found it to be the KJV.
Rev 22 18-19
there is a curse for anyone who takes away or adds to Gods word, which all of these newer version have done.

Who says it is? I've never seen any copies of The Holy Bible without it!

I just checked the New International Version and it had it at the bottom in italics.
