At least to my knowledge those r the only ones with it in there. Some label it as 20-22 but it's a good Scripture. It says, "Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." I'm confused.

The answer to that lies in the original Greek. There were two versions of the Bible, the Byzantine, and the Alexandrian. The Byzantine was the actual original version, while the Alexandrian was merely an offshoot. The KJV, being one of the most accurate Bibles in the world (second only to the Young's Literal Translation, and followed closely by the NKJV), and it is not in italics, meaning it is not put in place by the translators. The KJV - authorized by King James - is not completely accurate, but that is only by mistranslations made by - get this - human beings! If you want to read a good Bible (that makes a little bit of sense) go KJV. If you don't like the thee's and thou's, read the NKJV.

Actually the answer has more to do with when the KJV was translated and published than anything else. When it was translated (1600's) there were not as many other manuscripts available to draw on and compile the most accurate translation. today, the closest to the originals would be the New International Version. this is not to say that the KJV is in any way inaccurate. None of the texts conflict with the bulk of Scripture or faith. by the way, another example of a text that is not included in subsequent translations is Mark 16:9-16.

You will find that most of these modern translations will omit any scriptures that have anything to do with prayer and fasting. It is a weapon that we use to break strongholds of the enemy. The NABV omits many parts of scripture. Some will change "the" a definite article to "a" an indefinite article. A reviewed a video that was done some tome ago from someone that coallated all of the different versions, it took her 10 years and her findings are subtile, yet astounding. I will be willing to give you the list of scriptures and what was changed if you like. God Bless you for paying attention.

I have never noticed this befoe. I am going to go check this out.
I would guess that it has something to do with the context of the speaker or an attempt to make it more "readable". Remember, all modern versions of the bible are translations from writings in Greek and Hebrew, etc... I imagine it is very difficult to translate everything exactly, and there have been many hundreds of years for the translations to evolve and change.
Good question!

Wow. I didn't know that. It is in the original text. Kind of clears up the old "which translations are the most accurate question". Cool question. I don't have an answer though.
Grace and Peace!

With every new version of the Bible they try to soften it down a bit to make it more palatable for the next generation.

I don't know. Maybe some groups have a thing against prayer and fasting?

I cannot believe in god and I cannot believe the guy who answered first believes that the King James version (read the a ss sucking forward to the King) is the actual word of the actual god...ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
If you had actually read the forward dedication of the book to King James then you would have to agree that it is in fact one of the most sycophantic writings ever laid down on paper. For me that makes it very difficult to accept any word that follows.

I'm not sure. If I were to avoid claiming an ignorant conspiracy theory, I would say loss of context. But who knows?
