Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible
The
Joseph Smith Translation
(
JST
; also called the
Inspired Version
(
IV
)) is a revision of the
Bible
by
Joseph Smith
, the founder of the
Latter Day Saint movement
. Smith considered this work to be "a branch of his calling" as a
prophet
. Smith was
murdered
before he ever deemed it complete, though most of his work on it was performed about a decade previous. The work is the
King James Version
of the Bible (KJV) with some significant additions and revisions. It is considered a
sacred text
and is part of the
canon
of
Community of Christ
(CoC), formerly the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and other Latter Day Saint churches. Selections from the Joseph Smith Translation are also included in the footnotes and the appendix in the
LDS-published King James Version
of the Bible, but
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
(LDS Church) has only officially canonized certain excerpts that appear in its
Pearl of Great Price
. These excerpts are the
Book of Moses
and
Smith's revision of part
of the
Gospel of Matthew
.
