THE REVISED VERSION AND THE SUNDAY
SCHOOL LESSON.
In the twenty verses of this Sunday School
Lesson there is difference of one hundred
and twenty-eight words between the Re-
vised Version and the King James Version;
sixty-one words in Authorized Version are
not in the Revised Version, and sixty seven
words in the Revised Version are not found
in the Authorized Version. There are also
a number Of changes made in punctuation
marks, and the position of words. The
changes altogether in these twenty verses,
amounts to about one hundred and fifty in
number. We will here give list of some
of the changes between the two versions, for
the convenience of those who would like to
see the changes without the tedious work Of
analysis: Went, were going same, very
called, named talked, communed togeth-
er, with each other; reasoned, questioned ;
to, with are, looking; whose name was,
named art, dost only a stranger, alone So
iourE known, know; trusted, hoped had
been, was; have redeemed, redeem to-day
is, it is now; were done, come to pass yea,
moreover; astonished, amazed which were,
having been ; sepulchre, tomb which, that;
thou, and; foolish men, cools; ought not,
beloved it not have suffered, suffer; at,
from expounded, interpreted unto, to
went, were goingj have gone, goj but, and;
tarry, abide; as, when at, to did, was
burn, burning; talked with ,spake to by, in.
There are nine words entirely omitted in
the REVISED Version that arc in the Author
lied Version in these twenty verses and
there ale fourteen omitted in the Authorized
Version found in the Revised Version. !
think this will show persons at glance, the
necessity of the revision of the Bible.
