Now, as to comma’s in the “bible”. There weren’t any!
Man adds aids to understanding according to his own understanding.
Translations are not inspired.
Translators are not inspired, but
God’s Word in the original manuscripts is “inspired” -learn that lesson and you will be ahead!

Also, as to your personal favorite, I am happy to inform you that the money Judas threw down in the temple was used to buy the field where he hung himself, and was thereafter used to bury the poor. No one took his body down, and it exploded with the fermentation of the rot.

In Scripture there is a lot of redaction on purpose, as the writer makes his points. Even Moses redacted the story of Adam, as the scribes of the tribes kept the records of the tribes through Noah, Shem, and Abraham-; but the record was there, chronicled by scribes of the tribes, and called “the Book of Jasher [the upright].
Moses used it and redacted from it, in his record, and referred to many things that are fully explained in the true book of Jasher, but which Moses had no need to re-write.
The true Book of Jasher is just history, and is available for anyone to read online at ccel.org, to see how much Moses had available to him through that and how he chose to redact.

You really need to follow links, The Johannine Comma is not a punctuation mark, it's a section of text inserted by a monk who was copying the Bible. the rest of your post goes further and further awry from that misunderstanding..

Your explanation of Judas' death is entertaining, but not scriptural.

Then you start quoting from the book of Jasher, Enoch in an earlier post neither of which are in the Bible... Why not? again, either it's not scripture and you shouldn't be putting your faith into it, or it is scripture and should be part of the Bible.
