Strain
Strain
Mat 23:24. Rather (from a misprint) “strain out a gnat,” as in Tyndale’s, Cranmer’s, the Bishops’, and the Genevan Bible. An image from minute care in straining wines to clear them; ye are punctilious about trifles, but reckless about enormities.

Strain
stran (, diulzo, to strain off, to filter): Mat 23:24, Ye blind guides, that strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel The imagery is that of a drinking-vessel full of liquid, from which tiny impurities are carefully removed while immense masses of other impure matter (Lev 11:4) are overlooked (compare Mat 7:3 f). The first edition of the King James Version read the same as the Revised Version (British and American), but in the later editions a misprint converted strain out into strain at, an error that has never been corrected.
