King James Bible 1611

   

14:1And it came to passe, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharises to eat bread on ye Sabbath day, that they watched him.
14:2And behold, there was a certaine man before him, which had the dropsie.
14:3And Iesus answering, spake vnto the Lawyers and Pharises, saying, Is it lawfull to heale on the Sabbath day?
14:4And they held their peace. And he tooke him, and healed him, & let him go,
14:5And answered them, saying, Which of you shall haue an asse or an oxe fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the Sabbath day?
14:6And they could not answere him againe to these things.
14:7And he put foorth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked howe they chose out the chiefe roumes, saying vnto them,
14:8When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not downe in the highest roume: lest a more honourable man then thou be bidden of him,
14:9And hee that bade thee and him, come, and say to thee, Giue this man place: and thou begin with shame to take the lowest roume.
14:10But when thou art bidden, goe and sit downe in the lowest roume, that when he that bade thee commeth, hee may say vnto thee, Friend, goe vp higher: then shalt thou haue worship in the presence of them that sit at meate with thee.
14:11For whosoeuer exalteth himselfe, shalbe abased: and hee that humbleth himselfe, shalbe exalted.
14:12Then said hee also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsemen, nor thy rich neighbours, lest they also bid thee againe, and a recompence be made thee.
14:13But when thou makest a feast, call the poore, the maimed, the lame, the blinde,
14:14And thou shalt be blessed, for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the iust.
14:15And when one of them that sate at meate with him, heard these things, he said vnto him, Blessed is hee that shall eate bread in the kingdom of God.
14:16Then said hee vnto him, A certaine man made a great supper, and bade many:
14:17And sent his seruant at supper time, to say to them that were bidden, Come, for all things are now ready.
14:18And they all with one consent began to make excuse: The first said vnto him, I haue bought a piece of ground, and I must needs goe and see it: I pray thee haue me excused.
14:19And another said, I haue bought fiue yoke of oxen, and I goe to prooue them: I pray thee haue me excused.
14:20And another said, I haue maried a wife: and therefore I cannot come.
14:21So that seruant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry, sayde to his seruant, Goe out quickely into the streetes and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poore, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blinde.
14:22And the seruant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is roume.
14:23And the Lord said vnto the seruant, Goe out into the high wayes and hedges, and compell them to come in, that my house may be filled.
14:24For I say vnto you, that none of those men which were bidden, shall taste of my supper.
14:25And there went great multitudes with him: and hee turned, and said vnto them,
14:26If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea and his owne life also, hee cannot be my disciple.
14:27And whosoeuer doeth not beare his crosse, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
14:28For which of you intending to build a towre, sitteth not downe first, and counteth the cost, whether he haue sufficient to finish it?
14:29Lest haply after hee hath laide the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it, begin to mock him,
14:30Saying, This man beganne to build, and was not able to finish.
14:31Or what king going to make war against another king, sitteth not downe first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand, to meete him that commeth against him with twentie thousand?
14:32Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, hee sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
14:33So likewise, whosoeuer he be of you, that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
14:34Salt is good: but if the salt haue lost his sauour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
14:35It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill: but men cast it out. He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.

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.
