Perhaps you noticed that this chapter goes from verse 23 to 25. What happened to verse 24? Is this an altering of God's Word? The short answer is that "verse 24" is the exact same verse as the second half of verse 20 - "“The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen." Since it appears a second time so closely, did Paul intend to restate the same line or was this a copyist error? You can read the longer article at the link here, but their summary is this: "Thus, the most reasonable conclusion is that verse 24 arose from a minor scribal error. Thus, modern translations that move the verse to a footnote or mark it with brackets are perfectly justified in this practice."

On Palm Sunday, a huge crowd excitedly welcomed Jesus as king and rescuer. But within days, they abandoned him to die a shameful, torturous death – crucifixion. Even seeing their Messiah right there in the flesh, they’d missed him. What about us? Are we fully devoted to Jesus as our King and Rescuer? Or will we miss him too?
