The Most Unsuccessful Version Of The Bible The most exciting version of the Bible was printed in 1631 by Robert Barker and Martin Lucas, the King's printers at London. It contained several mistakes, but one was inspired -- the word "not" was omitted from the Seventh Commandment and enjoined its readers, on the highest authority, to commit adultery. Fearing the popularity with which this might be received in remote country districts, King Charles I called all 1,000 copies back in and fined the printers L3,000. -- Stephen Pile, "The Book of Heroic Failures"
