Back in 1603, Queen Elizabeth I passed away. She had ruled England for 45 years, was well-loved, and provided a sense of stability and security during her reign. Described as “neither a good protestant nor yet resolute papist,” she was able to provide a relatively happy medium between the two warring sects. Having had no children of her own, though, the throne was open to King James VI of Scotland, who became King James I of England upon her death.

I prayed one night to know which bible to read. First thing next morning at work someone asked me to sort through a box of unwanted items left at the office by an ex-employee. The last item in the box was a KJV with gold leaf pages and special leather bound zipped cover. When I unzipped and opened it, the bookmark was at the beginning of The Book of Luke, and my name is Luke. The most special gift I have ever been gifted in my Life, I will cherish it forever😇
-
imagine spending years of your life translating a book and then dying shortly before its done... just to be left out of the published list of translators

I have a degree in theology and learned some things I was never taught in college. Good stuff Simon!
-
I just love you videos and would like to thank you for such great content.
-
The entire history of a bible in English is quite fascinating.
-
It's impossible to accurately & adequately summarize something this complex in under 5 minutes.
-
Perfect video length.
-
I thank you because i am currently researching king james and any help i can get is much appreciated. Sincerely
-
"Printers have persecuted yer"! lol
-
Nice. I really liked this. On the subject of the bible, I'd like a segment explaining how the church determines which passages in the bible are considered canon and which are considered apocryphal.
-
A nice thing to read is the translators text "to the reader" in the beginning, recommended! Nice insights and great to get a window into the thinking of those days, of course it´s from the standpoint of very educated men and believers. You would be astounded tough how deep their thinking was back then, i feel almost stupid reading it. peace
-
As always, very well done. Thank you.
-
Thanks for the video. Do you think you could do a follow up about what versions, if any, took liberty with translations for any agendas? Love the content =)

"They wanted to Bible to SOUND right .. If the translation didn't sound good, the general committee would debate and revise the passage until it did." Yeah...and here exactly is one of the main problems. The text (at least the First Five Books) is meant to be a very specific way.. You can't just flip flop and change stuff around because you like the way it sounds better. That's such nonsense..

Educative and insightful 🙏

Thou shalt ''NOT'' commit adultery ? You mean I've been doing it wrong all this time ? Oh boy, am I in trouble !

Simon is an excellent researcher and narrator.👍🏻👍🏻
-
While commonly called the King James Bible, its proper title is the Authorized Version as it was the only version authorized to be used in English churches. It still is legally - Parliament is behind the times.

Great video. Very well done.
