  21. Greek a/r: = The Textus Receptus [TR] Greek text used by the KJV translators was incorrect, and the words following TO: represent the original Greek text, as found in the United Bible Societies' Greek New Testament, Fourth Revised Edition.

Most modern translations use the corrected Greek text, as represented in the United Bible Societies' Greek New Testament, Fourth Revised Edition. Any Greek text shown in square brackets (for example [kai]) represents the United Bible Societies' Greek New Testament Editorial Committee' division over whether or not that text was part of the original Greek text. If there is no English translation preceding and corresponding with the "Greek a/r" or "Greek omit" or "Greek add", then the correction in Greek did not result in a significant enough change to alter the English translation. (See http://www.bibletexts.com/kjv-tr.htm.)

The following Greek word, phrase, or verse was in the Textus Receptus [TR] but represents an erroneous addition to the original text.

Most modern translations use the corrected Greek text, as found in the United Bible Societies' Greek New Testament, Fourth Revised Edition. (See http://www.bibletexts.com/kjv-tr.htm.)

Yet because myth belongs to the conservative, homeostatic character of culture, myth frequently manages to reclaim the parable... This interaction of parable and myth is an important element in the interpretation of the Jesus parables.")
