What is going on here in Luke 23:42. In most of the translations people use today the word Lord is not in the verse. Using the KJV 1900 it is there. Online the KJV 1611 has it also. The interlinear has the word Lord in the 1900, but not in the ESV or NASB. Open Text does not have the word Lord either. Is it a manuscript issue?

This is precisely what the issue is. The KJV tradition of translations is based on the so-called Majority Text (right in the image below, with the added word kurie, which means 'Lord') and which is absent from the Westcott-Hort tradition translations as represented in the Nestle-Aland or UBS Greek New Testament (on the left in the picture):
"The Lord is missing"… Jesus promised to return we just do not know when.

PS: I am sorry for this bad joke on a serious question but it is the first thing that popped in my head when I read the title.

Of course we still have all those books telling us about the search for the historical Jesus. Even with Logos, the scholars can't seem to find Him.

Thank you for enlighten me about the Textual Notes! Looks like a great resource.
Do you have an opinion as to which is better? I have no idea. I am sure there are pros and cons to both. Do I need to loose sleep over this?
Thanks. I love this kind of stuff. I missed Him the first time I quickly looked at your posting this AM.

This is probably on the border of what is allowed on the Logos forums. That being said, most textual critics agree:
There is, however, a whole school of thought which prefers the "majority text" as a unit. That's another can of worms, especially because you really need to do text criticism within that tradition. Anyway, these are the mostly-agreed-upon factors for weighing textual variants.

Thanks, the Lord is found!
You have given me the basic terminology needed to find an article in Logos.
