Mark 5:18-20 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.
19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.
20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.

This article/video argues that John 5.39 in the Authorised (King James) Version correctly begins with the imperative ‘Search the scriptures’, rather than the indicative ‘You search the scriptures’ found in modern versions. Through careful analysis of the Greek grammar, context, and doctrinal implications, it contends that the imperative is the correct translation, Christ’s intent, and the Bible believing principle of sola scriptura.
“For centuries, those translating the Word of God from the Greek and Hebrew texts have recognised the great responsibility they have in producing accurate versions of the Bible, in which nothing can be added or omitted. They knew that it would be no easy task: these Greek and Hebrew scholars knew that they could not always translate one word with another single word. They also knew that there would be occasions in which a different word might be used instead of the ones that they chose. Therefore, these translators decided that, when a word or words had to be added so that the English reader could understand what the Greek and Hebrew words meant, they would add those words in italic type.”
