Today's Favorite Verse: Luke 11:52

"Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered."

I wondered what the key of knowledge was? The Joseph Smith Translation has what is missing.

"Woe unto you, lawyers! For ye have taken away the key of knowledge, the fulness of the scriptures; ye enter not in yourselves into the kingdom; and those who were entering in, ye hindered."

I love that the key of knowledge is the scriptures, it is of a truth to me. It made me think of the 8th Article of Faith: "We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God."

It also made me think of the Apocrypha and why I don't send much time with it.

"Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you concerning the Apocrypha—There are many things contained therein that are true, and it is mostly translated correctly;

There are many things contained therein that are not true, which are interpolations by the hands of men."

(Doctrine and Covenants 91:1-2)
