Geneva vs. KJV: The Bible Battle That Changed History

Scored 10. I love the NKJV as a translation in the great heritage of both the KJV and the Geneva Bible. A few years ago Tolle Lege Press republished the 1599 Geneva Bible. They updated the spelling. It is a very nice edition of the Geneva Bible.

When commenting on Isaiah 49:17 you mistakenly say that the KJV uses the word "sons". The actual word used by the KJV is "children". NKJV has "sons". This is one of my favorite videos of yours that i have watched. I too enjoy looking at differences among the early TR English translations and would love to see more comparisons between Geneva and KJV in the future.

I enjoy “rescuing” Bibles from second hand book shops. I recently found this particular 1560 edition of the Geneva Bible for £2, so “rescued” it. There is very little interest in Bibles or anything Christian in most book shops these days, so they are usually eventually sent away to be pulped, which is very said. Some book shops do not even put them on the shelves and simply send them straight off to be pulped. I won’t get into a a discussion as to which translation is the “best”. I have most of the various revisions of the KJV (the AV, the RSV, the NRSV, the ESV, the ASB and the NASB the NKJV) and if there is any text which I wish to understand better, I find that looking at all of them usually makes it all clear. The notes are always useful - they might explain, for example, that a word appears to be missing, or not properly copied in the original text and the notes usually explain why the text has been translated the way it has, with a mention of other possible translations. I find that the KJV and its various revisions are enough - however, I enjoy reading other translations, simply because I prefer the style used by the translator. My favourite is Monsignor Knox’s translation from the Vulgate. He translated the whole Bible himself, without any assistance, so that the translation style is very consistent and does not read as if it had been put together by a committee, as is the case with most translations. I have the three volume study version, with a full set of notes, with explanations as to where the Vulgate does not correspond with the best available original texts now available.

[@thebeggarfromthedunghill]

At 7:56 when referring to Luke 17:36 you state that the KJV 'translators were aware of this textual variation' as if the Geneva translators were not aware of it. Verse 36 is included in the marginal note of the 1560. So they were certainly aware of it. The verse is actually included in the main text of the 1599 edition. The ecact same thing happens in John 8:59. The 'missing' part of the verse is in the margin of the 1560, yet appears in the main text of the 1599. I realize you are only comparing the 1560 edition and it's easy to miss things in the crowded marginal notes.

Both added the phrase in Acts 21:25 “and concluded that they observe no such things (KJV)” or “and determined that they observe no such things (Geneva)” to Scripture. This short addition caused a seismic shift from what was written in Acts 15:19-21!!!! Other Bible versions do not have this addition and thus remained faithful not only to the Ancient Greek texts but also to its context. Beware!!!!

Thanks! Yes, the original KJV and the Geneva included the Apocrypha. I think those of us who do not consider the Apocrypha to be part of the canon, would still do well to be better familiar with it.

[@shawnbrewer7]

@ It’s not just included, but also noted. In your 1611 edition, turn to Hebrews 11:35, and you’ll see the translators added a footnote mentioning that St. Paul references 2 Maccabees 7:7. This was acknowledged in 1611, yet today, it’s a common belief that “the New Testament doesn’t reference the Apocrypha,” even though the translators were aware of this in 1611.

Actually, regarding the word "tyrant", it does appear three times in the KJV, in the Apocryphal section: Wisdom of Solomon 12:14 - “Neither shall king or tyrant be able to set his face against thee for any whom thou hast punished.” II Maccabees 4:25 - “So he came with the king’s mandate, bringing nothing worthy the high priesthood, but having the fury of a cruel tyrant, and the rage of a savage beast.” II Maccabees 7:27 - “But she bowing herself toward him, laughing the cruel tyrant to scorn, spake in her country language on this manner; O my son, have pity upon me that bare thee nine months in my womb, and gave thee such three years, and nourished thee, and brought thee up unto this age, and endured the troubles of education.”

I use both the KJV and the Geneva Bibles. One thing that has always bothered me is that King James wanted to keep control of not just England but also the Church. The Geneva Bible was supposedly dedicated to Elizabeth and it became very popular. So how is what King James did in assembling a group of translators to bring forth a new translation, an Authorized translation any different than say a Pope calling together a group to produce a Catholic Approved Bible? Both are in charge of their respective churches and desire control or loyalty. While the Geneva Bible was compiled by folks in exile from persecution and was 'for the people', the KJV seems to be more for the King and Church and people are secondary. There are sites that claim the KJV is divinely inspired and the only true word of God and ALL others are corrupt. Is such a view bordering on idolatry? I thoroughly enjoyed this video and the quiz. I just subscribed. Thanks!

[@mengbomin]

Interesting interrelationship between the two. James charged the translators with using existing English translations. They weren't altogether faithful to that stipulation, as 39% is new material, but of the historic Bibles, Geneva was used most, with 19% of the KJV sourced to it, followed by Tyndale's work 18%, Coverdale's work 13%, and wrapping up with the Bishops' Bible and Wycliffe 4% each (source: intro to a Geneva 1560 facsimile)

[@kainech]

I confess that I've never read the Geneva Bible. The KJV and DR Bible, but not the Geneva Bible. I should probably try to find a complete edition in print and rectify that for culture's sake, but I every edition I see in a store omits the Apocrypha, and I've resolved not to buy any Bibles that omit it and originally had it so as not to be a party to sin. I have tended to stay away from the Geneva Bible on account of its association with Calvin, but while my opinion of him has not softened over the years, my judgment on the soundness of the prejudice has gone to thinking I need to read it. King James, after all, readily murdered people over Bibles. For the variants, I think the Geneva Bible got 2 Sam 21.18-19 right. I think the KJV's _interpretation_ is fundamentally right, but I don't think textual emendations belong in the text but in the footnotes. For Jesus sneaking, I would agree with you that it probably shouldn't be in a reading Bible. Interestingly, it's in the PT, so it's going to be a reading heavy in the lectionaries, but I also have an arbitrary number (completely arbitarary) in which I automatically take a reading that has 90%+ agreement, so this reading shows the arbitrariness of that standard. I'm not sure Ps 8.5 is a slip-up. If translating from Hebrew, it probably should be "God" or "gods." There are several occasions where the LXX replaces 'elohim with angels, probably to avoid polytheism. It was pastorally wise then, and I can point to several such small changes in the text (e.g. the LXX omits Joshua praying to the Ark by omitting the phrase "before the Ark"). However, I'm not sure this is wise now given the state of things and the things that are happening now. For the questions, I was able to guess a lot of them by recalling the KJV and inferring from contrast the answer, but I did not know them.

Also, I see so many people trying to use the apostrophe and then an s for plurals, such as gorilla's. Another thing, you will see stores use the apostrophe and then s for describing something, such as "men's changing room" as being possessive rather than descriptive, "mens changing room".

​@@Colorado_Native Ok teacher, can you explain why men is pluralized with an s when "men" is the plural form of a "man" already?

I prefer to go with the Geneva Bible because it sounds like it was not taken from any texts that were in the hands of the Catholic cult for hundreds and thousand something years I don't trust texts that have been in the hands of the Catholics so therefore I much prefer the Dead Sea scrolls though the Geneva Bible wasn't taken from the Dead Sea scrolls cuz I hadn't been discovered yet it seems to match up more to the Dead Sea scrolls then any of the King James versions and as much as I love Martin Luther and think of him as a man of God he was a former Catholic priest and probably use text that were in the hands of Catholics . Can you suggest a reliable modern copy of the Geneva and where I can get one and also I refuse to have a Bible with her bar coder QR code in it it's getting really hard to find Bibles that don't have that . Thank you for your video

[@AlSchreiner-c5v]

Don't worry about it, just read it. God made sure that we could see the entire word of God in the first word in scripture. Barasheth or in the beginning. He speaks to us in letters numbers music and pictures in every Hebrew letter. A lot of translations are corrupt whether intentionally or unintentionally. The Holy Spirit will protect you and guide you into all God's truth... fear not selah ❤

The word tryant used to mean someone who usurped power in a coup, and ruled a dictator. But the Calvinists changed it to mean a king who failed to advance the commonwealth of his citizenry, or resisted their attempts to take over the churches, giving the people the hypothetical right to overthrow the king. Calvin himself specified that Christians should not be involved in this, but suggested (on the basis of Roman pre-Christian history), that God might raise up someone to overthrow the "tyrant." John Knox took this idea to the bank and orchestrated the overthrow of King James' mother, writing tracts to suggest that it is against God's will for women to rule, while writing Queen Elizabeth under a pseudonym to get her help in overthrowing the Catholic monarch. The Geneva Bible was basically the Calvinist's seditionist bible. They like to go on and one about the footnotes in the Schofield Reference Bible, but in fact, The Geneva Bible was the O.G. in writing in bad theoology in the textual notes.

[@billcook4768]

7/10, not great. Anyway, the transition from Geneva Bible to KJV is fascinating even if you care nothing about religion. It’s an extraordinary time in the English language. It’s almost as if something or somebody important came along between 1560 and 1611 that fundamentally changed the language.
