Who edited the Bible into its present form?

  1. Pope Gregory

  2. Martin Luther

  3. King James

  4. Erasmus

The correct answer is: King James

King James did not edit the Bible into its present form. Rather, he authorized the translation of the Bible into English, which became known as the King James Version. Pope Gregory is incorrect because he lived in the 6th century AD, while the Bible had already been compiled and completed by the 4th century AD. Martin Luther is incorrect because he was a key figure in the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century, and while he did make some changes to the Bible, it was not to its overall form. Erasmus is incorrect because he was a biblical scholar in the 16th century who published a critical edition of the Greek New Testament, but did not edit the Bible into its present form.
