There was considerable monkey business involved in the passage's inclusion in ONE of the several texts produced by Erasmus, which were later revised by others, including Stephanus, leading to the Textus Receptus used by the KJV committee. Erasmus didn't believe the passage was authentic, but at one point gave into pressure from the Roman Catholic hierarchy, and included it in one of his editions. He later relented and excluded it from subsequent editions.
