The KJV’s Greek text (Textus Receptus) does not include a longer phrase before from: Σίμωνά τινα Κυρηναῖον ἐρχόμενον. The KJV’s Greek text (Textus Receptus) adds “Simon someone of Cyrene” (Σίμωνός τινος Κυρηναίου) before who here. The KJV’s Greek text (Textus Receptus) adds “coming” (ἐρχομένου) before from here. The KJV’s Greek text (Textus Receptus) adds “the” (τοῦ) before Jesus here. The KJV’s Greek text (Textus Receptus) word order differs here.
