Not really that odd for the verse. It's not in the earliest manuscripts they've found so those versions put in a footnote indicating that it's not found and omit the verse. ESV goes from v20 -> v22 but includes a footnote about the manuscripts. Modern versions do similar with other passages that don't show up everywhere. I think the end of Mark IIRC.
Not saying that fasting isn't important and has uses - totally agree with that - just that a verse not showing up in more modern translations usually just means that as people find earlier manuscripts the scholars may choose to omit those verses and put a footnote in its place.
