Re: Some Interesting Bible Facts
When has wikipedia been an authority on any subject? There are many different translations and the English versions differ slightly in number of verses and chapters, from the original text.
Wikipedia mentions that there are a lot of differences... but uses the KJV for their "authoritative" answer.
I'll take a Pastor's word on this one.
