[pkg-crosswire-devel] Question about red text in John 18:5-9 (KJV)

Hi all,

I just noticed today in reading from John 18 (in Xiphos), that there
seems to be some text of Jesus' words that should be in red that is not
appearing that way.

John 18:5-9 (KJV)

  [5] They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them,
(red)I am he(/red). And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with
them.
  [6] As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went
backward, and fell to the ground.
  [7] Then asked he them again, (red)Whom seek ye?(/red) And they said,
Jesus of Nazareth.
  [8] Jesus answered, (red)I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye
seek me, let these go their way:(/red)
  [9] That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which
thou gavest me have I lost none.

"I am he" in verse 6 and "Of them ..." to the end of verse 9 appear in
black text in Xiphos, but in my print Bibles both are red.  I checked
the Crosswire site and we have the latest KJV text in Debian.  Could
someone confirm what I'm seeing?

Also, would this be something to report upstream?  I am guessing the
sword-devel mailing list at Crosswire would be the place.  Does that
sound right?

Regards,

-Roberto
