Well, since nobody else did, I will respond. I use the KJV for many reasons. You highlight a good example. On first read, I thought, "well, the AV quote does say something a little different than the ESV." Then I read Fredtgreco's post and agreed with him in essence. I had to re-read the ESV and agreed with him, although the passage could be confusing if not compared to the KJV. But the KJV is clearer. I got it the first time. And yes, there are a few subtle difference's (ie, should touch vs. might touch. One seems to suggest a stronger request by the supplicants) This is a great comparison.

Thanks.
