It was brought over by the Puritans, and hated by King James🧐
It was also the first portable Bible; so a Bible for the people, by the people.
there is a real nice Patriot's Edition with the George Washington picture that Q posted.

I'd forgotten that Luke has that same bit about the millstone that's also found in Matthew. One of the most important things Jesus did was to emphasize the importance of compassion for and appreciation of children.
I put together a dozen verses with Jesus' own words (as reported long after the fact by others and then translated, etc) that summarize for me the central themes of Jesus's secular teachings --
Matthew: 18:1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 18:2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 18:5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Mark: 10:13: And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. 10:14: But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. 10:15: Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
Luke: 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
John: 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
it's amazing how many similarities there are between Matthew and Luke. almost like a code;) think it's Jesus' way of preventing censorship; we can verify his words since it was recorded twice. I bet there's a term for it in steganography, but I haven't found it yet.
And yes, it's awesome how children are mentioned, don't think their rights have ever been acknowledged until this^ and thanks for the verses, still studying my way through the NT, so this is helpful.
