Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.
Don't freak out about the "missing" verses in your Bibles. Many translations will include those verses in a footnote at the bottom of the page. Other translations will include the verse in the body of the text with a footnote that says, "These verses are not contained in the oldest manuscripts." The two biggest sections of our Bible where verses were added at a later time period are found in John 8 (John 7:53-8:11) and Mark 16 (Verses 9-20). In the case of the ESV, Matthew 17:21 is absent from the text but included in a footnote. The editors are inconsistent with their method because they contain the first section of John 8 and the final section of Mark 16. I wish that if they were going to extract these "questionable" verses from the text, they would do so even in larger texts, but I suppose that missing one verse from a chapter is more easily overlooked than twelve verses.
At any rate, I am no expert on the manuscripts, but I have read enough to know that the removal of these verses is not malicious, nor is it intending to change the meaning of the text. It is just that the oldest available manuscripts we have do not contain these verses so the editorial team decided to default on the side of caution and include them only as footnotes, and since I probably enjoy this conversation more than you do, let's move on.
