The Tyndale New Testament (1526-1530) was the first English translation to use the TR. Matthew's Bible (1537) simply used Tyndale's New Testament. The five 'revisions' mentioned may include those listed below, all of which were based on the Textus Receptus and all were influenced by Tyndale:
1. Coverdale Bible (1535) / The Great Bible (1539) (both Bibles done by Coverdale)
2. Geneva Bible (the Bible of the Pilgrims) (1557-1560)
3. Bishop's Bible (1568)
4. King James Version (a.k.a., Authorized Version; original version, 1611; Dr. Benjamin Blayney's final revision, 1769)
5. New King James Version (1982)
| Plus, there is the Modern King James Version and the 21st Century King James Version.
