English translations of the Bible have translated 1 Thessalonians 4:17 in various ways:

* The [[Wycliffe Bible]] (1395), translated from the Latin Vulgate, uses "rushed".{{efn|1 Thessalonians 4:16: "Afterward we that lyuen, that ben left, schulen be '''{{em|rauyschid}}''' togidere with hem in cloudis, metinge Crist'in to the eir; and so euere more we schulen be with the Lord."}}
* The [[Tyndale New Testament]] (1525), the [[Bishop's Bible]] (1568), the [[Geneva Bible]] (1587) and the [[King James Version]] (1611) use "caught up".{{efn|Bishop's Bible 17 "Than we which lyue, which remaine, shalbe caught up together with them in the cloudes, to meete the Lorde in the ayre: And so shall we euer be with the Lorde."}} This is carried over to the [[American Standard Version]] (1901), the [[Revised Standard Version]] (1946, 1952) and the [[English Standard Version]] (2001, 2007, 2011, 2016), as well as the [[New International Version]] (1973, 1978, 1984, 2011).
