First sentence: The book of the ancestry (genealogy) of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed, the son (descendant) of David, the son (descendant) of Abraham. [Psalm 132:11; Isaiah 11:1]
I found this [relatively] tiny New Testament in the Amplified translation at a thrift store for a few dollars. I had not read this translation before, but, was really to try out the New Testament. (Part of me wishes that I'd gone ahead to buy the two Old Testament volumes as well. They were gone the next time I went. Though they were not in great condition, so perhaps all is well after all.)
I had heard of the Amplified translation, but, was not aware that it dates from the 1950s. It is meant to be a supplement (or help), I believe, to the King James Version of the Bible. Would this have been the Lockman Foundation's first project? I'm guessing it would have been. The New American Standard Version would be published--in the New Testament--in the 1960s and the whole Bible beginning in the 1970s. I've always had a lot of respect for the NASB. Not so much respect for the Amplified. I was under the impression that it was like the Message. (I was SO wrong).
The Amplified translation has been updated several times. There is a "classic" version, I believe from the 1980s on several websites, and the most recent update as well under "Amplified." Both versions are different from the 1958 that I read.
I read this translation in December of 2023 and January of 2024. It is single column, black letter. After reading this one, I have decided that I'd like to try to read the whole Bible in the Amplified translation. ( )
