50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. 51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.

CACTUS HILL, AZ—Pastor Fred Wilkinson, a King James-only pastor in a rural Arizona town, reportedly leads his congregation in a chant every Sunday morning, wanting to join in on the 'F--- Joe Biden' chant trend sweeping through sports games, concerts, and churches across the country. But his chant is slightly different, opting for the proper King James phrase "Knoweth Joe Biden!" instead. "Let us all standeth and joineth together in the traditional chant," Wilkinson (thee/thou) said as the organist played "Softly and Tenderly". "Knoweth Joe Biden! Knoweth Joe Biden!" Some church members complained about the crassness of the word "knoweth,"...

King James English and Orthodox Worship One doesn't usually look to Orthodox Jewish sources for guidance on the kind of English that is best suited for worship, but years ago I stumbled across some very telling comments in the preface to the book "To Pray as a Jew," by Rabbi Hayim Halevy Donin. Commenting on his translations of the prayers his book would discuss, he says: "I have decided to retain the use of "Thou," "Thee," and "Thy" in all passages that address themselves directly to God. The more contemporary "You" and "Your," which I had at first considered using,...

That is the King James translation of the sixth commandment. It is a magnificent translation. But this one has led to much moral confusion.

The English Separatist congregation, known to history as the Pilgrims, was known as the Scrooby Congregation before they made their way across the Atlantic in the Mayflower. Named for the Scrooby Manor, which was the Nottinghamshire English home of one of their leaders William Brewster, the congregation had gathered at the Brewster home for meetings and services while in in England. King James I, following the more lenient Queen Elizabeth I in 1602, rejected the demands of the separatists across England who sought independent religious congregations and who had accused the Church of England of being too much like the...

For centuries, people of all walks of life have carried around with them echoes of the King James Version. So to throw it out as the church hierarchy has done amounts to a savage act of deprivation and, as this deprivation is of the Word of God in English, it is vicious iconoclasm. Sidelining the King James Version especially deprives our children and is therefore a notable case of child abuse. There is no such thing as noble truth expressed in ignoble words. The choice of words determines what is being said. Therefore, we should choose the best. “Strips of...

If every committee did such impressive work, committees wouldn’t have a bad name. Four hundred years ago, King James of England commissioned several dozen scholars to update and improve on prior translations of the Bible into English. Their handiwork — known as the King James Version — put an indelible stamp on the English language and on the Anglo-American mind. The prodigious task took roughly six years. Just printing it was an undertaking. Initially, a typo appeared on average once every ten pages of text. One edition was called the “Wicked Bible” when the word “not” was accidentally left out...

A new poll taken for the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible reveals that a majority of those under 35 in the United Kingdom don't even know about the work, which has been described as a significant part of the estimated 100 million Bible sales annually, making it the best best-seller, ever. "Yet this is a work which was far more influential than Shakespeare in the development and spread of English," a spokesman for the King James Bible Trust told the Christian Institute in a recent report. The Christian Institute's report said the translation, which will...

I have only ever learnt two short pieces of literature by heart. One was Lady Macbeth’s speech “Out, damn’d spot”, which I sprinkled liberally across my O-level English literature paper. Of more lasting impact have been the few verses in Genesis iii describing mankind’s fall. A new vicar at St Nicholas, Chiswick, where I went as a boy, introduced a ceremony of readings and carols that King’s has made famous. As head chorister I was allotted that reading. The event almost immobilised me with an attack of first-night nerves. But once I was up and reading it was as if...

CANTON, N.C. (October 13, 2009)—The Amazing Grace Baptist Church in Canton, N.C. will celebrate Halloween by burning Bibles that aren’t the King James Version, as well as music and books and anything else Pastor Marc Grizzard says is a satanic influence. Among the authors whose books Grizzard plans to burn are well known ministers Rick Warren and Billy Graham because he says they have occasionally used Bibles other than the King James Version, which is the sole biblical source he considers infallible. According to the church’s Web site, members will also burn “Satan's music such as country, rap, rock, pop,...

Haven't there been several revisions of the KJV? When modern critics wish to change "God was manifest in the flesh" to "He appeared in a body" (1Ti 3:16, NIV) or change "only begotten Son" to "only begotten God" (Joh 1:18, NASB), they want to point to the KJV as say "they did it too!"The problem here is that editions are being confused with revisions. There have been several editions of the KJV, most recently the 1769 edition, which is in common use today. Such editions corrected pinter errors or updated grammar. These editions were not to introduce "new" textual evidence...

With a single-spaced, six-page letter touting his accomplishments, Sharpe James announced yesterday he will not seek a sixth term as Newark's mayor, ending one of the most remarkable reigns in New Jersey political history. Citing only his opposition to dual office holding, James, who is also a state senator, wrote he did not want to be a candidate in the May 9 mayoral election and asked the city clerk to remove his name from the ballot.

For centuries, people have been intrigued by the number 666, the "number of the beast" from the Book of Revelation in the New Testament. Not only is it mentioned in the Bible, it has been associated with the Satanism, universal price codes and the game of roulette, as the numbers on the wheel add up to 666. Now, the legendary number is getting a fresh look, as researchers are re-examining evidence the number may actually be 616. In the King James Version of the Bible, the well-known verse of Revelation 13:18 reads: "Let him that hath understanding count the number...

One of the smaller, but no less bloody skirmishes in the Culture War is being waged on the linguistic front. For those new to the field there are essentially two camps: one made up of linguists, lexicographers, academics or language liberals; the other of conservatives or prescriptivists, the so-called "linguistic luddites." The conservative's anguish over the decline of the English language, the linguists charge, is no different than his distress over the decline of culture in general. This "whining," writes linguist Alan Pagliere, is a mix of nostalgia, self-righteousness, and ignorance of the reality of the laws governing and of...

A discussion starter! There are probably around a hundred versions of the whole Bible or of parts thereof in print in English and available in big American Bible Stores in 2004. One could say that this commercial situation is much the same situation as that which occurs when a class of say one hundred seminarians is asked to produce a translation of the Greek text of the Letter to Jude. No two would be alike (unless several present had memorized a given published translation and reproduced it verbatim) and thus one could pick and chose from amongst and within them,...
