Here is a list I am working on...
The following passages and whole verses are missing in their entirety in some of the modern English versions of the Greek New Testament, which are based upon "The Critical Text", while in the older English versions, which are based upon the "The Majority Text" and or "The Textus Receptus" they are present. Some of these verses are not in the Eastern Aramaic ?Peshitta? New Testament, but are found in the Western Syriac Peshitto version, which conforms with the Greek New Testament, sometimes against the Eastern Aramaic "Peshitta" New Testament.
Ancient witness that I have personally checked against these verses are shown after the quotation of the missing text in the modern versions, showing were they have been seen throughout the New Testament's history.
Note: I am not finished checking this list for ancient witnesses, but this will get you started for now. I'll update the list as I find more along the way.
