The Catholic Bible is older than the King James Version (KJV)
. The foundational texts of the Catholic Bible, such as the Latin Vulgate, date back to the 4th century, while the KJV was published in 1611.
Catholic Bible: The Vulgate, a Latin translation, was commissioned by Pope Damasus I in 382 AD and compiled by St. Jerome. The New Testament books were written by the end of the 1st century AD, and the Old Testament books were written centuries earlier.
King James Version (KJV): This English translation was published in 1611 and was based on a variety of other translations and manuscripts that were available at the time.
Key Difference: A major difference is the number of books. The Catholic Bible contains 73 books (including the deuterocanonical books), while the KJV contains 66 books. The KJV originally included the Apocrypha (the deuterocanonical books), but they were placed in a separate section
