I'm doing some research on the word "Jew" in the Bible.
I found this:
The word Jew did not exist until 1514 A.D. ...
"According to Jewish-born Historian Benjamin H. Freedman, author of Facts Are Facts:
“The best known 18th century editions of the New Testament in English are the Rheims (Douai) Edition and the King James Authorized Edition. The Rheims (Douai) translation of the New Testament into English was first printed in 1582 but the word ‘Jew’ did not appear in it.
“The King James Authorized translation of the New Testament into English was begun in 1604 and first published in 1611. The word ‘Jew’ did not appear in it either. The word ‘Jew’ appeared in both these well known editions in their 18th century revised versions for the first times."
Question: Does the word "Jew" appear in the early manuscripts?
Thanks.
