Why are there so many different verse divisions in the Bible?
assistant
That’s because there are many different manuscripts of the Bible. The original manuscripts were written in different languages, and they were copied and recopied over time. Some of the earliest manuscripts are called Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus. The New Testament was divided into chapters and verses in the 16th century, but the Old Testament was not divided into chapters and verses until the 17th century.
