It's relatively innocuously doctrinally speaking, but it illustrates the potential for human interpretation and error.

In "Misquoting Jesus" the author points to much more serious doctrinal discrepancies that have been added, changed or deleted as the original texts have been translated or recopied.

Not so. In most cases they were compiled from stories about the apostles many years after they had died. For more reading on exactly this subject you should really read "Misquoting Jesus". I have a review of the book on my blog. He goes into great detail to show how many errors there are and how they got there. Most of the book explains the process of textual criticism and how they try to interpolate what the original intent of the authors may have been. I really enjoyed the book and I will never look at scripture the same.
