John Reynalds, President of Corpus Christi College (Oxford) petitioned King James to authorize a new translation of the Bible in 1604.
King James set the wheels in motion and the first edition
appeared in ....1611.
It was named after the King, to honor him.
Much criticism followed the publication of this translation.
A Hebrew scholar of the day, wrote to King James that he “should rather be torn asunder by wild horses than allow such a version to be imposed on the church.”
Over time it came to be accepted.
For more than two and a half centuries no other so-called authorized translation of the Bible into English was made
Today no one reads the King James Version in its original form. Explaining why: The Bible in Its Ancient and English Versions says:
“Almost every edition, from the very beginning, introduced corrections and unauthorized changes and additions, often adding new errors in the process.
The edition of 1613 shows over three hundred differences from 1611.
In recent times, the American Bible Society found 24,000 variations in six different editions of the King James Version!

It was originally translated in 1611. Weird, but it has been changed since then to eliminate God's personal name. Wonder what everyone is so afraid of??? The American Standard Bible was also changed in this way. Wonder who is behind this conspiracy?? Possibly Satan???

The "Authorized Version" was first published in AD1611.
It was not the first of the translations into the English language.

It was completed in 1611, but the apacrypha was droped years later, because the Catholic Church inserted it Illegaly.
