Jerusalem Bible Holy Version 3.1

The Jerusalem Bible (JB or TJB) is an English-language translation of the Bible that was first introduced to the English-speaking public in 1966 by Darton, Longman & Todd. As a Roman Catholic Bible, it includes the deuterocanonical books in addition to the sixty-six others found in Protestant Bibles. A significant feature of this translation is its inclusion of copious footnotes and introductions.

Excerpts from the Jerusalem Bible are utilized in the Lectionary for Mass, which has been approved by the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales and is utilized in most English-speaking regions. The English and Welsh bishops have also given approval for the use of other translations in Liturgy.
