Even from his mother’s womb

In Luke 1:15 we find that John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.

For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.

Luke 1:15 KJB

The implication of life in the womb is offensive to those who want to murder children in the womb. To accommodate this, many new age bibles change “he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb” to either downplay the womb by saying “before his birth” or completely change the meaning, timing, and significance by saying “from his birth”.
