King James Bible 1611

 

   

16:1And hee said also vnto his disciples, There was a certaine rich man which had a Steward, and the same was accused vnto him that he had wasted his goods.
16:2And hee called him, and said vnto him, How is it that I heare this of thee? Giue an accompt of thy stewardship: for thou mayest bee no longer Steward.
16:3Then the Steward said within himselfe, What shall I doe, for my lord taketh away from mee the Stewardship? I cannot digge, to begge I am ashamed.
16:4I am resolued what to doe, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receiue me into their houses.
16:5So hee called euery one of his lords detters vnto him, and said vnto the first, How much owest thou vnto my lord?
16:6And hee said, An hundred measures of oyle. And hee saide vnto him, Take thy bill, and sit downe quickly, and write fiftie.
16:7Then said hee to another, And how much owest thou? And hee said, An hundred measures of wheat. And hee saide vnto him, Take thy bill and write fourescore.
16:8And the lord commended the vniust Steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser then the children of light.
16:9And I say vnto you, Make to your selues friends of the Mammon of vnrighteousnesse, that when ye faile, they may receiue you into euerlasting habitations.
16:10Hee that is faithfull in that which is least, is faithfull also in much: and he that is vniust in the least, is vniust also in much.
16:11If therefore yee haue not bene faithfull in the vnrighteous Mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
16:12And if ye haue not bene faithful in that which is another mans, who shall giue you that which is your owne?
16:13No seruant can serue two masters, for either he will hate the one, and loue the other: or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other: yee cannot serue God and Mammon.
16:14And the Pharisees also who were couetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
16:15And he said vnto them, Ye are they which iustifie your selues before men, but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed amongst men, is abomination in the sight of God.
16:16The law and the Prophets were vntill Iohn: since that time the kingdome of God is preached, and euery man preasseth into it.
16:17And it is easier for heauen and earth to passe, then one title of the law to faile.
16:18Whosoeuer putteth away his wife, & marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoeuer marrieth her that is put away from her husband, committeth adultery.
16:19There was a certaine rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linnen, and fared sumptuously euery day.
16:20And there was a certaine begger named Lazarus, which was layde at his gate full of sores,
16:21And desiring to bee fed with the crummes which fel from the rich mans table: moreouer the dogges came and licked his sores.
16:22And it came to passe that the begger died, and was caried by the Angels into Abrahams bosome: the rich man also died, and was buried.
16:23And in hell he lift vp his eyes being in torments, and seeth Abraham afarre off, and Lazarus in his bosome:
16:24And he cried, and said, Father Abraham, haue mercy on mee, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and coole my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame.
16:25But Abraham saide, Sonne, remember that thou in thy life-time receiuedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus euill things, but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
16:26And besides all this, betweene vs and you there is a great gulfe fixed, so that they which would passe from hence to you, cannot, neither can they passe to vs, that would come from thence.
16:27Then he said, I pray thee therefore father, that thou wouldest send him to my fathers house:
16:28For I haue fiue brethren, that he may testifie vnto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
16:29Abraham saith vnto him, They haue Moses and the Prophets, let them heare them.
16:30And hee said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went vnto them from the dead, they will repent.
16:31And hee said vnto him, If they heare not Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be perswaded, though one rose from the dead.
King James Bible 1611

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.
