In which language was the Bible book of Matthew written?

Greek, although there is some evidence which suggests Matthew wrote originally in Aramaic. All trace of this is lost however, and we only have the Greek manuscripts available. Answer St. Matthew's Gospel was written in Greek. This is shown by the fact that the author quite faithfully followed the original wording, in Greek, of both St. Mark's Gospel and the 'Q' document. This is confirmed by his use of the Septuagint, an early Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures, for his Old Testament references.

Why did King James publish his version of the Bible?

The Authorized King James Version is an English translation of the Christian Holy Bible begun in 1604 and completed in 1611 by the Church of England. The King James Version translation effort was based primarily on the Bishops' Bible, but the translators also used the Tyndale, Matthew, Coverdale, Great, and Geneva Bibles; and because many of the translators were skilled in both Hebrew and Greek, they could also refer to the Masoretic text (Hebrew Old Testament) and the Septuagint (Greek translation of Hebrew Scriptures) during their work. If all of the Bibles listed here were traced back to their origins (a work beyond the scope of this writing) the path would lead directly back to the original Hebrew and Greek manuscripts of the Old and New Testaments that exist today. Because its translators strove for accuracy, beauty, power, and literal faithfulness to the Greek and Hebrew texts, the King James Bible has endured as one of the most beloved translations for centuries. The English Bible was born during the late 1300s C.E. Before then, the Bible was only available in Latin, in a version called The Vulgate. The Vulgate was a translation of the Greek and Hebrew manuscripts making up the original Christian Scriptures. Latin had become the language of government while the Romans ruled, so it was natural the Bible should be translated into Latin. King James wanted a better tranlation.


What happened to the reaL BIBLE?

I'm not sure what you mean by the 'real' Bible. The current Bibles in use today (eg NIV, NRSV, Good News etc) are translations from the original langiages of Greek ( the New testament) or Hebrew (the Old Testament). The King James version is a translation fromt the Latin vulgate Bible which itself was a translation from the original languages. Therefore, although translations, these Bibles can be thought of as 'real' as they convey the right meanings and words of scripture in modern language. If you wish to look at the original languages, Biblegateway.com has an original Greek New Testament, and scripture4all.org has a Greek/English interlinear (ie showing the origin al Greek with the English underneath) New Testament.
