Jesus didn't speak English....He didn't say "immortal worms". He was talking about the maggots that fed on corpses in the dump.
The King James Bible mistranslates many Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic texts.

opou o skwlhx autwn ou teleuta literally means "where the worms go on forever" Not immortal worms, but then again, the KJV says nothing about immortal worms. It just says they go on forever, which could mean that the corpses have continual maggots.
This is not a "mistranslation" at all.
