King James Version

The King James Version, also known as the King James Bible and the Authorized Version, is an Early Modern English translation of the Christian Bible for the Church of England, which was commissioned in 1604 and published in 1611, by sponsorship of King James VI and I. The King James Version (1611, revised 1769) remains the most influential English Bible translation in history, commissioned by King James I of England and produced by 47 scholars over seven years. Based directly on the Hebrew Masoretic Text (Old Testament) and Greek Textus Receptus (New Testament). This edition includes Strong's Concordance numbers (H#### for Hebrew, G#### for Greek) embedded in the text, enabling direct reference to original language definitions. The Strong's numbering system was developed by Dr. James Strong (1822–1894) of Drew Theological Seminary.
