I've a significant update that I have not release yet. (Actually, I thought I had, but I see I have not.) In the updated version there are hundreds of corrections to the Strong's number matching.

Matt 9:10 is a particularily tough verse to map from the Greek to the English. Here is what it ought to be (formatted to be a bit readable:

A couple of things to note the src values and the lemma.TR give the original Greek and the order of the words in the original text. Translation from one language to another is difficult, requiring rearranging of words, translating one word into several, several into one, splitting a word translated into a phrase into parts, and so forth. Much of this is here.

Roughly translated word for word the verse would say:
And it came to pass he, as sat at meat in the house and behold many publicans and sinners coming sat down with the Jesus and his disciples.

The difficulty is that the Greek has Jesus late in the verse, but the KJV has it early. So here, we swap 3 and 16/17 to provide the mapping.

BTW, 846 in the Greek is αυτου, which is genative singular masculine. Yes, reflexive.

It makes sense that those that tagged the KJV would have retained the order of 3 and 16/17, mapping 3 to Jesus and 16/17 to him.

Should have this out shortly.

In Him,

> in KJV matthew 9:10, there is an error in the strong's number used in Matthew 9:10 for the word Jesus, which has <846> instead of <2424>. from beginning to end in NT it's 2424 except in mark 5:24, 16:9, luke 7:37, 19:1, john 9:1 all have "*" for a strong's number. John 8:1 is <846> somehow.

I hear they use computers now to keep it up to date/accurate etc. no publishing year on mine. could be 80's.
