During his revision of the New Testament, Joseph Smith, Jr. appended a grammatically awkward ending to a verse in Matthew …

The original passage reads:

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

Matthew 10:29 (AKJV).

In the current revision (found in the Community of Christ’s Bible), two words have been added at the end of the verse, which now reads:

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father knoweth it.

Matthew 10:26, Holy Scriptures/Inspired Version (Independence, MO: The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints/Herald Publishing, March 1966 – twelfth printing), 1098, emphasis added.

Why hasn’t this monumental failure ever been rectified?
