Appearance in English BiblesEdit
John Wycliffe introduced the term {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} into English Bible versions in two places, and, though somewhat archaic, the term survives in modern English because of its use in three places of the Tyndale New Testament (1525), the Geneva Bible (1560/1599), and King James Version (1611). In that translation, the word was used to translate three different Koine Greek words:<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
