The picture before you is a copy of one of the most significant books in the history of the reformation. It is a copy, a fascimilie, of the Geneva Bible published in 1560 a.d. What makes it unique is it is the first study bible ever made, having notes and references within each page (annotations); it was the known bible brought with the pilgrims (on the Mayflower) when coming to the new world; it preceeded the King James Bible by 51 years; it was the main bible used by the protestants during the reformation; it was the first bible to use verse numbers based on the works of Stephanus. Want to know more? Google it... you will be suprised at how this translation has influenced much of our world's history.
The above passage is from John 3:16-17.
For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.
The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.
Psalm 95:3-6 KJV
