What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for Satan is a liar and the father of lies.

Bible Proofreading Errors
“Errors in Bible printing were fairly commonplace in the 17th and 18th centuries,” notes Bible Review magazine, “but that doesn’t mean they were taken lightly.” For example, what became known as the Fool Bible came out during the reign of Charles I. In Psalm 14, the printers mistakenly changed a word. As a result, the first verse read: “The fool hath said in his heart there is a God.” This brought a fine of 3,000 pounds. Another company, Barker and Lucas, was fined 300 pounds in 1631 for omitting a word in what was called the Adulterous Bible. This put them out of business. Their version read: “Thou shalt commit adultery.” Similar was the Sin On Bible, of 1716. Where Jesus told the man he healed to “sin no more,” it has him saying “sin on more.” Not to be overlooked is the Vinegar Bible, published in 1717. The chapter heading over Luke 20 says, “The parable of the Vinegar,” instead of reading, “The Parable of the Vineyard.”
