Summary: Pilate asked Jesus "What is truth?" How do we know what is truth and how did we get our version of the Bible? Early writing, translating, and copying was extremely labor intensive. The Greek Septuagint was the early Bible for the common man and the early church. The Latin Vulgate was a Latin translation for the rich and the elite and became the official translation of the Roman Catholic Church. William Tyndale and John Wycliffe each translated the Bible into English. In 1604, King James authorized 54 scholars to create the King James Bible we use to this day.
