I’ve heard that there are disputed verses in the King James Bible as well (not this one). But at the same time this Bible is quite well established, and as such indicates what the consensus of Christians is (or has been).
I see what you’re saying, but I’m not sure you can call it consensus when the various bible translations have been nearly exclusively produced by the ruling class who were using it for control over the populace.
It would be interesting to see which translation would actually win a general vote if there wasn’t pressure from church leadership to use a specific one.
