King James Bible 1611

 

   

15:1Then drew neere vnto him all the Publicanes and sinners, for to heare him.
15:2And the Pharises and Scribes murmured, murmured, saying, This man receiueth sinners, and eateth with them.
15:3And he spake this parable vnto them, saying,
15:4What man of you hauing an hundred sheepe, if he loose one of them, doth not leaue the ninety and nine in the wildernesse, and goe after that which is lost, vntill he find it?
15:5And when he hath found it, hee layeth it on his shoulders, reioycing.
15:6And when he commeth home, he calleth together his friends, and neighbours, saying vnto them, Reioyce with me, for I haue found my sheepe which was lost.
15:7I say vnto you, that likewise ioy shall be in heauen ouer one sinner that repenteth, more then ouer ninety and nine iust persons, which need no repentance.
15:8Either what woman hauing ten pieces of siluer, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweepe the house, and seeke diligently till shee find it?
15:9And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Reioyce with me, for I haue found ye piece which I had lost.
15:10Likewise I say vnto you, there is ioy in the presence of the Angels of God, ouer one sinner that repenteth.
15:11And hee said, A certaine man had two sonnes:
15:12And the yonger of them said to his father, Father, giue me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he diuided vnto them his liuing.
15:13And not many dayes after, the yonger sonne gathered al together, and tooke his iourney into a farre countrey, and there wasted his substance with riotous liuing.
15:14And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land, and he beganne to be in want.
15:15And he went and ioyned himselfe to a citizen of that countrey, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
15:16And he would faine haue filled his belly with the huskes that the swine did eate: & no man gaue vnto him.
15:17And when he came to himselfe, he said, How many hired seruants of my fathers haue bread inough and to spare, and I perish with hunger?
15:18I will arise and goe to my father, and will say vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heauen and before thee.
15:19And am no more worthy to be called thy sonne: make me as one of thy hired seruants.
15:20And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ranne, and fell on his necke, and kissed him.
15:21And the sonne said vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heauen, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy sonne.
15:22But the father saide to his seruants, Bring foorth the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shooes on his feete.
15:23And bring hither the fatted calfe, and kill it, and let vs eate and be merrie.
15:24For this my sonne was dead, and is aliue againe; hee was lost, & is found. And they began to be merie.
15:25Now his elder sonne was in the field, and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musicke & dauncing,
15:26And he called one of the seruants, and asked what these things meant.
15:27And he said vnto him, Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fatted calfe, because he hath receiued him safe and sound.
15:28And he was angry, and would not goe in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
15:29And he answering said to his father, Loe, these many yeeres doe I serue thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandement, and yet thou neuer gauest mee a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
15:30But as soone as this thy sonne was come, which hath deuoured thy liuing with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calfe.
15:31And he said vnto him, Sonne, thou art euer with me, and all that I haue is thine.
15:32It was meete that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is aliue againe: and was lost, and is found.

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.
