you mean “protestant bible”?

the most famous protestant bibles are KJV and GLB. earlier they have Geneva Bible and Tyndale Bibles etc. but they’re not well published.

There’s a Wycliff Bible in middle English. it’s not a Catholic bible but I don’t think that’s a true Protestant bible as well.

but, I guess like the number of protestant faiths keep increasing, so do the number of available versions of their Bible. There are few true Catholic ones left… look for the impumature
 
I have to object to the terms “Protestant Bible” and Catholic Bible, as if there are indeed two Bibles. There is only one, complete cannon of Scripture known as the Bible, and the Catholic Church uses this complete cannon.

The KJV and all other so-call Protestant Bibles are really just incomplete versions of the true Bible, or cannon of scripture.

Just like the Catholic Church has the fullness of Truth, it has the fullness of Scripture!
 
Here’s an explanation of what happened to the Bible. Why protistant Bibles are not the same as Catholic’s

This site is (I believe) ran by protestants who specifacally state that the “apocrypha” books were included in the original text of the 1611 King James Version of the Bible and they include them on this site for those who are interested.

The more you research this, you will find out why Martin Luther decided to take these books out of the Bible as we knew it for almost 1400 years (I think).

Probably not long after the promulgation of Vatican II’s Dei Verbum by Pope Paul VI in 1965, which said in part:
22. Easy access to Sacred Scripture should be provided for all the Christian faithful. That is why the Church from the very beginning accepted as her own that very ancient Greek translation; of the Old Testament which is called the septuagint; and she has always given a place of honor to other Eastern translations and Latin ones especially the Latin translation known as the vulgate. But since the word of God should be accessible at all times, the Church by her authority and with maternal concern sees to it that suitable and correct translations are made into different languages, especially from the original texts of the sacred books. And should the opportunity arise and the Church authorities approve, if these translations are produced in cooperation with the separated brethren as well, all Christians will be able to use them.

I know that my 1970 New American Bible has the psalms numbered according to the Protestant scheme instead of the more traditional Catholic scheme…

The Catholic Old Testament follows the Septuagint, a Greek translation of the Jewish Scriptures produced in Alexandria, Egypt by Jewish translators about 100 B.C. The books included in this set of Jewish Scriptures is sometimes called the Alexandrian Canon. Later Jewish rabbis, well after the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, decided on a Bible with seven fewer books than the Alexandrian Canon. This later, smaller set of Jewish Scriptures is sometimes called the Palestinian Canon. Most Jewish Bibles of today follow the Palestinian Canon. However, the Bible of the Ethiopian Jews includes all of the books of the Alexandrian Canon, except one.

The New Testament writers and other early Christian writers quote mostly from the Septuagint. I have heard that of the 370 or so Old Testament quotes found in the New Testament, about 300 are from the Septagint.

In the 1500s & 1600s, the Protestant Reformers decided to use the smaller Palestinian Canon instead of the Alexandrian Canon for their Old Testament because the seven books missing from the Palestinian Canon clearly support the Catholic doctrines of Purgatory, praying for and gaining indulgences for the dead in Purgatory, and the intercession of the saints in heaven who pray for us and through whom God sometimes works miracles, doctrines which the well-meaning but misguided Protestant Reformers rejected.
