King James Bible 1611

 

   

2:1And the third day there was a mariage in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Iesus was there.
2:2And both Iesus was called, and his disciples, to the mariage.
2:3And when they wanted wine, the mother of Iesus saith vnto him, They haue no wine.
2:4Iesus saith vnto her, Woman, what haue I to doe with thee? mine houre is not yet come.
2:5His mother saith vnto ye seruants, Whatsoeuer he saith vnto you, doe it.
2:6And there were set there sixe water pots of stone, after the maner of the purifying of the Iewes, conteining two or three firkins apeece.
2:7Iesus saith vnto them, Fill the water pots with water. And they filled them vp to the brimme.
2:8And hee saith vnto them, Drawe out now, and beare vnto the gouernor of the feast. And they bare it.
2:9When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was, (but the seruants which drew the water knew) the gouernor of the feast called the bridegrome,
2:10And saith vnto him, Euery man at the beginning doth set foorth good wine, and when men haue well drunke, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine vntill now.
2:11This beginning of miracles did Iesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory, and his disciples beleeued on him.
2:12After this hee went downe to Capernaum, hee and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples, and they continued there not many dayes.
2:13And the Iewes Passeouer was at hand, & Iesus went vp to Hierusalem
2:14And found in the Temple those that sold oxen, and sheepe, and doues, and the changers of money, sitting.
2:15And when he had made a scourge of small cordes, he droue them all out of the Temple, and the sheepe & the oxen, and powred out the changers money, and ouerthrew the tables,
2:16And said vnto them that sold doues Take these things hence, make not my fathers house an house of merchandize.
2:17And his disciples remembred that it was written, The zeale of thine house hath eaten me vp.
2:18Then answered the Iewes, and said vnto him, What signe shewest thou vnto vs, seeing that thou doest these things?
2:19Iesus answered, and said vnto them, Destroy this temple, and in three dayes I will raise it vp.
2:20Then said the Iewes, Fourty and six yeres was this Temple in building, and wilt thou reare it vp in three dayes?
2:21But he spake of the temple of his body.
2:22When therefore hee was risen from the dead, his disciples remembred that hee had said this vnto them: and they beleeued the Scripture, and the word which Iesus had said.
2:23Now when hee was in Hierusalem at the Passeouer, in the feast day, many beleeued in his Name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
2:24But Iesus did not commit himselfe vnto them, because he knew al men,
2:25And needed not that any should testifie of man: for hee knew what was in man.

King James Bible 1611

The commissioning of the King James Bible took place at a conference at the Hampton Court Palace in London England in 1604. When King James came to the throne he wanted unity and stability in the church and state, but was well aware that the diversity of his constituents had to be considered. There were the Papists who longed for the English church to return to the Roman Catholic fold and the Latin Vulgate. There were Puritans, loyal to the crown but wanting even more distance from Rome. The Puritans used the Geneva Bible which contained footnotes that the king regarded as seditious. The Traditionalists made up of Bishops of the Anglican Church wanted to retain the Bishops Bible.

The king commissioned a new English translation to be made by over fifty scholars representing the Puritans and Traditionalists. They took into consideration: the Tyndale New Testament, the Matthews Bible, the Great Bible and the Geneva Bible. The great revision of the Bible had begun. From 1605 to 1606 the scholars engaged in private research. From 1607 to 1609 the work was assembled. In 1610 the work went to press, and in 1611 the first of the huge (16 inch tall) pulpit folios known today as "The 1611 King James Bible" came off the printing press.
