	Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Smith considered the translation necessary because of his view that the Bible was not always translated correctly, or contained interpolations by copyists.
		Although it is certain that Smith took Hebrew, Greek and German lessons in Kirtland, Ohio as early as 1833, the "translation" is rather a purportedly inspired "rendering" or "restoration" of the Bible to its original or intended meaning.
		Smith relied on a version of the Bible that included the Apocrypha, and marked off the Bible as verses were examined (the Apocrypha was not translated).

		Joseph incorporated his views into “The Articles of Faith,” which are found at the end of the LDS scripture, Pearl of Great Price.

	Joseph Smith Translation (JST) of the Bible
		Joseph Smith often used the words "translated" and "translation," not in the narrow sense alone of rendering a text from one language into another, but in the wider senses of "transmission," having reference to copying, editing, adding to, taking from, rephrasing, and interpreting.
		In response to prayer as to whether he should translate the Apocrypha, Joseph Smith reported a revelation dated March 9, 1833, to the effect that he need not attend to it: "It is mostly translated correctly,"though there are some errors and" interpolations by the hands of men" (DandC 91:1-2).
		Joseph Smith called it the "new translation," and it is known by this title in the early literature of the Church.

		It should be remembered that rather than a translation it was a revision; but it can scarcely be called a revision either, and ought rather to be named a partial topical explanation of the scriptures.
		The method adopted was this: The Prophet had a large German Bible upon the margins of which he made the corrections as he was inspired while studying certain topics of the scriptures.
		But he finished whatever subject he took up; and this interpretation must be placed upon the expression, "finished the translation of the scriptures," found in the history of Joseph Smith.

	Luke 4
		The Joseph Smith Translation corrects this by saying, ‘And after forty days, the devil came unto him, to tempt him’ ([Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible].
		First, his purpose for going there was not to seek out the devil, but to commune with God; second, he was not tempted for the forty days, but after the forty days were over; and third, it was the Spirit of God, not the devil, who conveyed Jesus to the mountain and the pinnacle.
		The Joseph Smith Translation account is also more reasonable than that of the King James Version, for one would not fast and seek solitude in order to be tempted of the devil, but would do so to commune with God.” (Robert J. Matthews, Behold the Messiah [Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1994], 188.)
