After the removal of seven books from the Catholic Bible, here comes the turn of the K.J. version which became the second victim, and which also became exposed to so many criticisms and doubts.
Every new sect of Christianity gives its own doubt against the K.J. version. It had been revised by 32 Bible Scholars of the highest eminence backed by 15 co-operating denominations.
They all agreed in the introduction of the R.S.V, that: "The king James version has grave defects....and this defects are so many and so serious". Therefore, they allowed themselves to omit (through this declaration)many verses from it as you will see in these coming verses. The Mormons do not trust the K.J.V, the keep it under the watch of their own Mormon's book, the Jehovah witnesses submit that it contains 50,000 errors according to (AWAKE magazine 8 September 1957) and therefore they have their own "modified Bible".
Hence, We ask this : where is the role of the Holy Spirit who was supposed to lead them out of this confusion??!

(The commentators of recent versions admitted at the footnotes of N.I.V AND R.S.V AND L.B.V that these verses were exposed to many additions and insertions saying: "The most reliable manuscripts and other ancient witnesses do not have Mark 16:9-20" (N.I.V) "Verses 9-20 are not found in the most ancient manuscripts, but may be considered an appendix giving additional facts." (L.B.V) "Some of the most ancient authorities bring the book to a close at the end of verse 8. One authority concludes the book by ADDING after verse 8 the following: 'But they reported briefly to Peter and those with him all that they had been told.. ETC.' Other authorities include the preceding passage and continue with verses 9-20. In most authorities verses 9-20 follow immediately after verse 8; a few authorities INSERT ADDITIONAL MATERIAL after verse 14." (R.S.V)
