comparision & learning

Through comparison, we can learn better.  #

Recently I had tried to compare various English translations of Luke 24:42-44.
Is Honeycomb in your bible? It is missing in many versions.
Try online interactive resources like:
BibleGateway,  BibleHub,  BibleStudyTools

Then, what about the books?
GEEES.

Then, someone has a visitor named Tobias.
Hey, that is a name of one of the books in Catholic Bible.
Searching & comparing....
numbers of books are different in the versions of bible by
Catholic, Protestant, Eastern Orthodox church!!!!!!!

English & Chinese bilingual data
(Traditional Chinese text for HongKong & Taiwan friends)



Old Testaments.
books    version:
________________
24    Jewish Tanakh
39    Protestant
46    Catholic
51    Eastern Orthodox

Originally I just wanted to find out the bilingual names and acronyms...

Then I noticed the information...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Books_of_the_Bible

Even just talking about the names of the books,
there are different translations/versions between them.

#
 the variations of actual text
in the many English versions alone are amazing if not shocking.

There are so many versons.
If I were to choose one or two versions,
 which is/are the best?
And.....
The Catholic bibles have more books than Protestant bibles. 
 
(Wikipedia do states that Protestant version and Jewish Tanakh
 are similar in the quantity of content in the Old Testament,
 just the arrangement & dividing of books vary.)
