24.1.17

Error in KJV

In Matthew 23:24 the KJV reads:

Mat 23:24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. 

Instead of "strain at a gnat" the correct reading is "strain out a gnat"

Greek word is "strain out" διυλιζοντες,

Strong and Hebrew Dictioneries:

διῦλίζω

diulizō

dee-oo-lid'-zo

From G1223 and ὑλίζω hulizō (to filter); to strain out. (“strain at” is probably by misprint.)

The correction reading is:

ESV, Mat 23:24 You blind guides, straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel!
