Once the King James translation was completed, the new Bible was rushed to the printers in such haste that several mistakes were made in early printings.
- In some early copies, the “sin no more†of John 5:14 read “sin on
more.†- In others, Luke 20 recorded the “parable of the Vinegar†rather than the “parable of the Vineyard.â€
- And in the most infamous typo, the word “not†was omitted from the Seventh Commandment, causing it to read: “Thou shalt commit adultery.†Copies of this printing became known as the “Wicked Bible†or the “Adulterer’s Bible.â€
