The NRSV is rooted in the King James Version tradition. The KJV, or Authorized Edition, was first published in 1611 after over eight decades of scholarship, starting with William Tyndale, to create an English translation. The KJV is considered one of the literary and formative masterpieces of the English language. Among the likely sources for the composition of this gospel ( Lk 1:3) were the Gospel of Mark, a written collection of sayings of Jesus known also to the author of the Gospel of Matthew (Q; see Introduction to Matthew), and other special traditions that were used by Luke alone among the gospel writers. Some hold that Luke used Mark only as a complementary source for rounding out the material he took from other traditions. Because of its dependence on the Gospel of Mark and because details in Luke’s Gospel ( Lk 13:35a; 19:43– 44; 21:20; 23:28– 31) imply that the author was acquainted with the destruction of the city of Jerusalem by the Romans in A.D. 70, the Gospel of Luke is dated by most scholars after that date; many propose A.D. 80–90 as the time of composition. In the 1870s, due to changes in the English language and additional archaeological discoveries of older manuscripts, a major revision was undertaken by a committee of fifty British and American scholars. The Revised Version, the first and only authorized KJV revision, was published in the 1880s in Great Britain. The purpose of the NCB is to provide a clear, faithful, and accurate translation that allows for a more global reach than other translations. Offering this fresh translation serves to provide English-speaking Catholics worldwide with another version to satisfy their interest in, devotion to, and study of, the Word of God.

Significant elements of the Lectionary are contained in the psalms which are used in response to the readings. Noticeable work has recently been concluded on the revision of the Grail Psalms. This revision sought to reflect developments in the understanding of the texts, avoiding paraphrase whilst maintaining the poetry and rhythm of the psalter. The Bible contains the Ten Commandments close Ten Commandments The list of rules, revealed by God to Moses, found in the Old Testament books of Exodus and Deuteronomy. Also known as the Decalogue.. These act as basic guidelines for Catholics, helping them to know what they should and shouldn’t do. The Grail Psalms have been part of Liturgy in English since before the Second Vatican Council. They are used in both the Lectionary and the Divine Office. The final chapter of the book of Baruch is also called the letter of Jeremiah to the Babylonian exiles—certain manuscripts include it as a separate book.In conclusion, understanding the Catholic Bible helps Protestants gain a historical perspective on books that have been important for past believers. Believing the books qualify as Scripture presents a challenge since they contain some historically questionable content. Yet they can be valuable for impacting people in Jesus' day and beyond. The most popular English translations of the Catholic Bible today are the New American Bible, the New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition, and the New Jerusalem Bible. Aside from the inclusion of the Apocrypha, each of these Bible translations is reasonably good and accurate in how it renders the biblical text into English. The apocryphal books were never considered inspired by the Jewish people, to whom God entrusted His Old Covenant oracles (Romans 3:1-2)
