Geneva Bible

The Holy Scriptures Conteined in the Olde and Newe Testament
Book • 1557
The Geneva Bible was published in 1560 by Protestant scholars in exile from England.

It was the first English Bible to include numbered verses, extensive marginal notes, and summaries before each book.

The translation was influenced by John Calvin and other leading biblical scholars of the time.

It was dedicated to Queen Elizabeth I and became a popular Bible for family devotions, clergy, and lay people.

The Geneva Bible played a significant role in the Reformation and remained widely used even after the publication of the King James Version in 1611.
