The King James version is so majestic that I think that old joke about that being the version Jesus wrote might just have a hint of truth.
It can be a bit difficult to read at times but that language is basically like reading Shakespeare.
Maybe that's why I like it so well. I'm Catholic, but every Christmas, I listen to "A Festival of Lessons and Carols" from King's College Chapel. The readings are from the King James, and I've gotten to where, when I listen to the Scripture readings at Mass during Advent, and Christmas, I can hear the wording from the King James, instead of that of the New American. It is just beautiful language.
