Why does the original 1611 version have "strain out a gnat" and modern King James versions misprint that by saying "strain at a gnat" When will this error be corrected?
David Daniels response:
You were lied to about Matthew 23:24. It is a lie spread by anti-King James people. ...
I have a letter-for-letter exact reproduction ... of the 1611 King Jame Bible, first printing by Robert Barker, the King's own printer. Here's exactly what it says:
24 Ye blind guides, which straine at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
There you have it. The King James NEVER said "strain out a gnat." It ALWAYS said, in proper English, "strain at a gnat." The modern printings that say "strain at a gnat" are correct. ... The Cambridge King James Bible is an exact replica, with updated spelling and all printing errors removed, of precisely what the translators handed Robert Barker to be printed! ...
In short, there is no error, thus nothing to be corrected, in accurate printings of the King James Bible like the Cambridge. I come from a totally anti-KJV training in Bible college and seminary. It has taken years of research to dispel the stories and lies and doubts placed on God's preserved words, the King James Bible.

Hi Steven. You can also go to StudyLight and find the original 1611 online. It is just as you say: "Ye blind guides, which straine at a gnat, and swallow a camel."
Study Light can be found here:

Just type in Matthew 23:24 and scroll down to "early versions", then click on KJV 1611 edition. There it is.
