The translation I am told the translation itself is a bit different in places do to the translation differences that always arise. My understanding that there was not an official canon back about the days of Jesus and the Greek speaking peoples took the Hebrew manuscripts that were in common use and translated them into Greek so most people could read them. When the Jewish people decided to canonize the old testament they rejected several books When the protestants broke away they took the Jewish Old Testament with the fewer books. My understanding the New Testament is the same..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Butero Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 What is perplexing to me is why only 73? I have a 1611 KJV Bible, and it has 80 books in it. There are the 66 books of the canon, and 14 additional books in the Apocrypha. I wonder why the more modern Catholic Bibles leave half of them out?
