Ok, here goes:
1st authorized name - King James Name -Verson or Authorized Version
-King James 1 of England
-1611
prepared by six teams of scholars
Translations from Bishops Bible and Tyndale's Bible, as well as Greek and Hebrew manuscripts.
But to be really correct, I would need to go back Gutenberg (1500) and the Latin Vulgate version and then to Erasmus who in 1516 published a more accurate Latin translation of the NT. Using Erasmus as a base, Martin Luther (in German) and William Tyndale, in English, paved the way for the King James Version of 1611.
I am constantly amazed at how God preserved his written Word and brought it to us and is still preserving it today.
Psalm 1 - "..his delight is in the Law of the Lord and on his law he meditates day and night.."
Psalm 19:7 "The Law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul;"
Psalm 119:105 "Thy word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."
Good little history of the Bible's course in that turbulent era. Thanks!
