NKJV

I've used the KJV for over 60 years, but I do like the NKJV

 

The reason the words are missing from the NKJV is because they are missing from the Greek Textus Receptuses. All editions I believe. It was the NKJV that was faithful to the Textus Receptus when the KJV was not.

 

Luke 1:35
Omit "of thee" after "born." S E G Lm T Tr A W WH NA HF versus B Lt, AV
Collation of Received text readings
Stephanus and Elzevir Greek Textus Receptuses verses Beza's Textus Receptus. No doubt Beza got it from the Latin.

Tyndale

The angell answered, & sayde vnto her: The holy goost shal come vpon the, & the power of the Hyest shal ouershadowe the. Therfore that Holy also which shalbe borne (of the) shalbe called the sonne of God

Notice the brackets above.

Luke 1:35 (Tyndale 1536)
And the aungell answered and sayde unto her: The holy ghoost shall come upon the/and the power of the hyghest shall over shadowe the. Therfore also that holy thynge which shal be borne/shal be called the sone of God.

Stephan’s (1550), Ekzevir (1624), Byzantine Majority and Family 35
Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ ἄγγελος εἶπεν αὐτῇ, Πνεῦμα ἅγιον ἐπελεύσεται ἐπὶ σέ, καὶ δύναμις ὑψίστου ἐπισκιάσει σοι· διὸ καὶ τὸ γεννώμενον ἅγιον κληθήσεται υἱὸς θεοῦ.

Erasmus Greek and Latin


Luke 1:35 Codex Bezae Cantabrigiensis (5th century)
και αποκριθεις ο αγγελος ειπεν αυτη πνευμα αγιον επελευσεται επι σε και δυναμις ϋψιστου επισκιασι σοι διο και το γεννωμενον αγιον κληθησεται ϋιος θ̅υ̅ ·

[Oddly enough Beza added it to his Greek edition of the TR]
Textus Receptus (Beza 1598)
και αποκριθεις ο αγγελος ειπεν αυτη πνευμα αγιον επελευσεται επι σε και δυναμις υψιστου επισκιασει σοι διο και το γεννωμενον εκ σου αγιον κληθησεται υιος θεου

Luke 1:35 (Scrivener 1881)
καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ ἄγγελος εἶπεν αὐτῇ, Πνεῦμα Ἅγιον ἐπελεύσεται ἐπὶ σέ, καὶ δύναμις ὑψίστου ἐπισκιάσει σοι· διὸ καὶ τὸ γεννώμενον ἐκ σοῦ ἅγιον κληθήσεται υἱὸς Θεοῦ.

The NKJV simply followed the proper texts.

Wycliffe and the Anglo Saxon, both translated from the Latin Vulgate have the extra words as the KJV.

Wycliffe Bible 1382
And the aungel answeride, and seide to hir, The Hooly Goost schal come fro aboue in to thee, and the vertu of the Hiyeste schal ouerschadewe thee; and therfor that hooli thing that schal be borun of thee, schal be clepid the sone of God.

Wessex Gospels 1175
Ða andswerede hyre se ængel. Se halge gast on þe be-kymd & þas heagestan mihte þe ofer-scædeð. & for þan þt halig þe of þe akenned byð; byð godes sune ge-nemned
