Mark 9:44, 46 — What Changed in the Bible Text

Edit · disputed

What the source reads(the earliest Greek has only verse 48)

What this version readsWhere their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

The refrain from Isaiah 66:24 stands once in the oldest text (v48) but three times in the Byzantine tradition and the KJV (44, 46, 48). Repeated for emphasis, or trimmed by scribes.
