“Only the Latin manuscripts date back to the first century, doncha know?”

In the late 300’s St. Jerome translated the original Hebrew and Greek manuscripts into Latin, using the originals.

Martin Luther and Wycliff mistranslated and left out key portions of the bible in the 1600’s to serve their heretical purposes.

Nah, he didn't...

Martin Luther and Wycliff mistranslated and left out key portions of the bible in the 1600’s to serve their heretical purposes.

so why did Jerome re-translate the scriptures into Latin when a Latin version already existed???

Here's the real answer:

The Old Latin pretty much matches the King James Version...Disgusting, isn't it???

Jerome wanted or was instructed to write a different version...So Jerome created the New Latin bible, the Latin Vulgate...
