The KJV’s Greek text (Textus Receptus) does not include “[the time] will come” (ἥξει) before when here. The KJV’s Greek text (Textus Receptus) adds “desolate Amen” (ἔρημος. ἀμὴν) before I say here. The KJV’s Greek text (Textus Receptus) adds “that” (ὅτι·) before certainly here. The KJV’s Greek text (Textus Receptus) adds “when [the time] may come” (ἄν ἥξῃ) before when here. The KJV’s Greek text (Textus Receptus) word order differs here.
