His work heavily influenced subsequent English Bibles, including the 1539 &#8220;Great Bible&#8221; mandated by King Henry VIII and an astounding 83% of the King James Version of the New Testament published in the early 1600s.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Legacy and Accessibility of Scripture<\/strong>: The translation dispute highlights the shift towards accessible religious texts, making the Bible available in the language of common people and contributing to both the spread of Protestant Reformation ideas and the evolution of the English language.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First published New Testament changed history https:\/\/bonnercountydailybee.com\/news\/2026\/jul\/03\/500-years-ago-first-new-testament-published\/ Publish Date: 2026-07-03 04:00:00 Source Domain: bonnercountydailybee.com Vernacular&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":239861,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/hagadone.media.clients.ellingtoncms.com\/img\/photos\/2026\/07\/02\/New_Testament_Bible_2026_Adobe_t1200x1200.jpeg?89991875fe57e095a7a6851653f0e1c1091b3037","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-239860","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239860"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=239860"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239860\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":239862,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239860\/revisions\/239862"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/239861"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=239860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=239860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=239860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
