Revelations 22:18
18 I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Matthew 16:3
KJV
1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

Mark 9:46
KJV
45And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
46Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
47And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire

Mark 16:9-20
KJV
9Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
10And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
11And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.
12After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.
13And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.
14Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
19So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

Matthew 20:22, 23
KJV
22But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.
23And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink
indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with:
but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it
shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

Watch therefore,
for you know neither the day nor the hour.--------missing---------------.

Therefore keep
watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

But of that day
and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father
only.
NIV
“No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
(THEY ADDED THIS. If Jesus the Son does not know the day nor hour, then that make Jesus a man. Jesus is part of the God head, The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and He knows the time and day).

KJV
I came not to call
the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
RSV
I came not to call

29And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.
30And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,
28Let it be known to you then that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen.”

30 And he lived there two whole years at his own expense, and welcomed all who came to him,

And Jesus answering said to him. ----missing-----It is written. Thou shall adore the Lord thy God and him only shall thou serve
RSV
And Jesus answering him. ----missing-----It is written. you shall worship the Lord thy God, and him only shall you serve
The expression, "get thee behind me, Satan," was early omitted because Jesus used the same expression later to Peter (in Matt. 16:23) to rebuke the Apostle. This is fulfillment of Prohecy. The Catholic Church says that Peter became Pope! This is not Biblical.)
Acts 13:42 (SABBATH)
KJV
And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
NIV
As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people invited them to speak further about these things on the next Sabbath.
RSV
As they went out, the people begged that these things might be told them the next Sabbbath.
And as they went out, they desired them that on the next Sabbath they would speak unto them these words
(Why did they take the Jews out? What day do the Jews go to the synagogue? Saturday (Sabbath). The KJV says that the Gentiles were also there and besought that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath. So Saturday is not just the Jewish Sabbath it is for all people. They changed it to reinforce their doctrine of Sunday worship.)

And when they were come into Mysia, they attempted to go
into

And when theyhad come opposite Mysia, they attempted to go

When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to
