This is the story of the centurion whose servant was ill and he asked the Lord to heal the boy just by speaking it. 10 when Jesus heard this he was astonished and said to those following him, “I tell you the truth I have not found anyone in Israel with such faith. 11i say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Issac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 but the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth”.

Yeah, about that... it seems that some of those don't appear in the preserved Greek originals, which means that the reason kjv diverts from consensus is because it's taking poetic license. Not that it's necessarily doctrinally wrong, but it's also not word -perfect in all cases. Remember why it was really created, for whom and by whom. Politics will always be in play. Like the Schofield invention of the rapture doctrine, it's got things that were interpreted into it.
