Matthew 17:21 is completely missing from my ESV. I even asked my preacher brother for his recommendation on which Bible I should purchase. This is what I feared would happen, thus I asked for him to tell me which Bible would be the "best". I do like the ESV, but now I'm wondering what else has been left out? I guess I can go and dust off one of my pre1960 KJV and begin reading that, but the phrasing is so 'antiquated'. Heck, if for no other reason, fasting will help the waistline. :) Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy the ESV with commentary, but it bugs me that a way to defeat the Devil is missing from my Bible. Prayer and Fasting is a powerful combination against Satan. That should be the takeaway from this entire situation. (I wonder how God dealt with the scholars who took verse 21 out of the Bible?)
I switched to KJV years ago after researching all this info and I just couldn't believe the things that were changed or omitted. I sometimes get crap from people for using it (at church 🙄) but I just laugh at them and tell them it's written in English- the language we SPEAK and if they can't get a dictionary and look up the words they don't know then that's kinda sad.
