How easily fooled you are.
That is debatable. There are old texts that have ink marks where that verse occurs, representing an alternative reading being available at that point.
I once asked God about it, after doing some research into the topic. Whether it should be in the bible or not. I asked him if it should be in there when I randomly opened the bible that it would randomly open to that verse. And if it should not be in there that it would open to the verse about "not one dot being removed from the law". After praying about it for some days, and the bible not opening to either. I got rather frustrated, and said "God look I am not doing this out of an unbelieving heart, just show me the truth, and I will believe it". I opened the bible at random after the prayer, and it opened to the verse about the adulterer not being stoned, the very verse I had asked God to open it to if it was a true story. I have done this bible opening thing many times, and God has often answered on the very first time I asked, but this time it took a while to get the answer. But he "I believe" showed me in the end that the story is true.
Hey I love God he is awsome.
