Bible translations into Greek begin with the [[Septuagint]] (LXX), the ancient translation of the [[Hebrew Bible]] into [[Koine Greek]] which probably was translated by Origen.

Other early Greek translations that survive only in fragments are those of: [[Aquila of Sinope]] (2nd century AD), [[Theodotion]] (2nd century AD) and [[Symmachus]] (3rd century AD).
== Modern Greek ==
At the initiative of the pro-[[Reformed]] Patriarch [[Cyril Lucaris]] of Constantinople, [[Maximos of Gallipoli]] (or Callipolites, died 1633) translated a vernacular New Testament from 1629 which was printed at Geneva in 1638.[1][2]

An edition of the [[New Testament]] into [[Modern Greek]] translated by Seraphim of [[Mytilene]] was edited in London in 1703 by the English [[Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts]]. The translation was formally condemned in 1704 by the reigning [[Patriarch Gabriel III of Constantinople]].[3]

In 1901, [[Alexandros Pallis]] translated the [[Gospel]]s in [[Modern Greek]]. The publishing of the translation in a newspaper caused riots in [[Athens]], known as Evangelika (Ευαγγελικά). Today the most common translation in Greek is the ''[[Neophytus Vamvas]] Translation'' (known also as [[Modern Greek]]). A revised NVT is the ''New Vamvas Translation'' of Spyros Filos. The New Bible Version is recognized by the [[Orthodoxy|Orthodox Church]].

In 1993, the [[Corporations of Jehovah's Witnesses | Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc.]] published a New Testament edition in modern Greek of their well-known English Version, [[New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures]]. Then in 1997, this Bible Society released the complete modern Greek Bible, [http://www.watchtower.org/g/bible/index.htm ''Η Αγία Γραφή—Μετάφραση Νέου Κόσμου''], "the result of some seven years of painstaking work.” [4]
