What king of England translated the Bible?

Answer 1

Authorized Version (AV), commonly known as the King James Version (KJV) or King James Bible, is an English translation of the Christian Bible by the Church of England begun in 1604 and completed in 1611. First printed by the King's Printer Robert Barker, this was the third translation into English to be approved by the English Church authorities.

The first was the Great Bible commissioned in the reign of King Henry VIII, and the second was the Bishop's Bible of 1568. In January 1604, King James Henry VI of Scotland and "I" (one) of England convened the Hampton Court Conference where a new English version was conceived in response to the perceived problems of earlier translations as detected by the Puritans.

James gave the translators instructions intended to guarantee that the new version would conform to the ecclesiology and reflect the episcopal structure of the Church of England and its belief in an ordained clergy. The translation was done by 47 scholars, all of whom were members of the Church of England. In common with most other translations of the period, the New Testament was translated from Greek, the Old Testament was translated from Hebrew text, with the Apocrypha were translated from Greek and Latin.
