John 1:51
KJV
And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
NIV
He then added, “Very truly I tell you, [omit] you will see ‘heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on’ the Son of Man.”
In the KJV, the words “you” and “ye” make it clear that Jesus is not just talking to Nathanael, but also all the other disciples with him. If he were talking to Nathanael only, it would read, “…I say unto thee, Hereafter thou shalt…” Most modern versions lose this distinction and make it seem as if Jesus is talking solely to Nathanael.
