[Matthew 17:21 KJV] "Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting."
[Matthew 17:21 NIV] ""
Why is the verse missing but it still has a verse number?
This can be explained by the following
The translators for the modern Bibles had the KJV and Majority texts/Masoretic text
They were "correcting these" using their "older/better manuscripts" that were discovered after the KJV was published
The KJV has numbered verses
They removed the verses not found in their "older manuscripts", but kept the verse numbers
The claim is made verses were added
This refutes saying verses were added
They weren't added they were removed
