List of books of the Authorized King James Version
- List of books of the Authorized King James Version
These are the books of the Authorized King James Version of the Bible along with the names and numbers given them in the Douay Rheims Bible and Latin Vulgate. This list is a complement to the list in Books of the Latin Vulgate. It is an aid to finding cross references between two longstanding standards of biblical literature.
There are 80 books in the King James Bible, 39 in the Old Testament, 14 in the Apocrypha, and 27 in the New Testament. Most modern editions omit the Apocrypha; in those editions the number of books totals 66. The reasons for the omission of the Apocrypha can be found in the article "Biblical canon". The names of those books found in the Apocrypha section of their respective versions are in "italics".
In the Latin Vulgate, it is customary to separate chapter and verse with a comma, for example, Ioannem 3,16. But in English bibles it is customary to separate chapter and verse with a colon, for example, John 3:16.
The Psalms of the two versions are numbered differently. The Vulgate follows the Septuagint numbering, while the King James Version follows the numbering of the Masoretic Text. See the article on "Psalms" for more details.
