AnswerThere have been many translations of the Bible, into almost all known languages.

Pope Damasus commissioned Jerome to begin translating the New Testament from Greek into Latin. After the death of Damasus, Jerome continued, translating the Old Testament from Greek, creating the Latin Vulgate Bible.

King Henry VIII authorised the first official Protestant translation of the Bible into English, but William Tyndale had already made the first Protestant translation of the Bible into English. Much of the later King James Version is based on Tyndale's work.
