The addition cited was put there in full disclosure it was found in the Greek edition by the same Church that existed at the time of Christ and which decided what writings would be accepted into the Scriptural Canon. Subsequent acts of withdrawing books as “apocryphal” were performed many centuries later by people who recognized their own opinion rather than the decision of the fathers of the first century.
