List of books of the King James Version#Apocrypha

{{Short description|none}}

These are the books of the King James Version of the Bible along with the names and numbers given them in the Douay Rheims Bible and Latin Vulgate. This list is a complement to the list in Books of the Latin Vulgate. It is an aid to finding cross references between two longstanding standards of biblical literature.

Preliminary note

There are 66 books in modern printings of the King James Bible; 39 in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament. Originally, when published in 1611, the King James Bible also contained 14 Books of the Apocrypha but these were gradually omitted from the early 1800s. The Catholic Bible contains 73 books; seven, called the deuterocanonical books taken from the 14 books of the Apocrypha . These seven are considered canonical by the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Oriental Orthodox Church, and the Church of the East, but not generally by other Christians.

When citing the Latin Vulgate, chapter and verse are separated with a comma, for example "Ioannem 3,16"; in English Bibles chapter and verse are separated with a colon, for example "John 3:16".

The Psalms of the two versions are numbered differently. The Vulgate follows the Septuagint numbering, while the King James Version follows the numbering of the Masoretic Text. This generally results in the Psalms of the former being one number behind the latter. See the article on Psalms for more details.

==Apocrypha==

{{Main|Biblical apocrypha}}

Although the King James Version was originally published with the apocrypha, in the following years it was increasingly printed without the apocrypha and eventually omitting it became standard.

{{cite book|last=Ewert|first=David|title=A General Introduction to the Bible: From Ancient Tablets to Modern Translations|date=11 May 2010|publisher=Zondervan|isbn=9780310872436|page=104|quote=All English Bibles prior to 1629 contained the Apocrypha. ... Soon after the publication of the KJV, however, the English Bibles began to drop the Apocrypha and eventually they disappeared entirely. The first English Bible to be printed in America (1782–83) lacked the Apocrypha. In 1826 the British and Foreign Bible Society decided to no longer print them.}}
