Luther Bible

1545 (letzte Hand — Luther's final revision) · German · Full Bible · 66 books · 1,189 chapters · 31,171 verses. Verse numbering follows this translation's own text as printed, not renumbered to another edition.

Study notes and marginal cross-references printed in the source file are apparatus, not verse text, and were stripped; verse wording is otherwise as in the file. Spot-checked against the 1545 readings (Gen 1:1-3, John 3:16). Apocrypha in the source file excluded, as with the other 66-book translations here. Luther's versification differs from the KJV in places (psalm titles count as verse 1, so most psalms run +1; some chapter boundaries shifted, e.g. Leviticus 5/6, Numbers 16/17, 1 Kings 4/5, Nehemiah 3/4, Job 40/41, Ezekiel 20/21, Daniel 3/4) — shown as printed, not renumbered.
