July 14, 2026

Summary: #

Where did the Spanish Bible come from? Was the Reina-Valera 1960 the first Spanish Bible? Who were Casiodoro de Reina and Cipriano de Valera, and why are their names still associated with the Spanish Bible today?

In this episode, we trace the history of the Spanish Bible from the original 1569 Reina Bible through the 1602 Valera revision, and then follow the major revisions of 1865, 1909, 1960, 1977, and later editions. We also explain the important difference between a translation and a revision, a distinction that is often misunderstood in discussions about the Spanish Bible.

Our first example is Matthew 5:22, where the phrase “without a cause” becomes an important textual issue. We compare:

• King James Bible (KJV)

• English Standard Version (ESV)

In this episode of the Spanish Bible Podcast, we examine two passages where the underlying Greek text makes a significant difference between the King James Bible and modern Critical Text Bibles—and where the Reina-Valera 1960 follows the Critical Text reading.

First, we look at 1 Peter 2:2. The King James Bible reads:

“as newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.”
