In the King James Bible (KJB) in Matthew 5:22 (below) Jesus says that anyone who is angry with his brother "without a cause" is in danger of judgment.
The ESV, NASB, NIV, AND NLT have removed the phrase "without a cause" from this verse. By removing those three words the publishers of these bible versions are saying that anyone whoever gets angry - no matter how silly the reason - will be in danger of judgment! But that is not what Jesus
said! He said if you are angry without a cause, then you are in danger of judgment. See the difference?
This is a critical error on the part of the publishers of the ESV, NASB, NIV, and NLT because the way they have written this verse they make Jesus a sinner because he got angry with the money changers and with those who were selling animals inside God's house of prayer. Then Jesus kicked them out of the temple! Now, according to the King James Bible, Jesus had "a cause" to get angry with them and kick them out. These sellers and moneychangers had made God's place of worship a shopping mall!
But the ESV, NASB, NIV, and NLT versions say Jesus is in danger of judgment because he got angry! I would not want to be those publishers when they face Jesus at the judgment and explain why they did that!
Matthew (Jesus said:)
5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
John
2:13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
2:14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
2:15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
2:16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
Matthew
21:12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
21:13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
