the origional ms did NOT contain this passage And you have an original manuscript to confirm this? :-)

We have older, ms than the vulgate the KJV was based upon, the comma is not found in them.

So you are saying that Smith left the comma in place BECAUSE it was authentically in the origional ms?

I have no idea. I am unaware of any commentary by JS regarding JST.
