Bible King James Version with Apocrypha
The King James Version (KJV), commonly known as the Authorized Version (AV) or King James Bible (KJB), is an English translation of the Christian Bible for the Church of England begun in 1604 and completed in 1611. First printed by the King's Printer Robert Barker, this was the third translation into English to be approved by the English Church authorities.
James gave the translators instructions intended to guarantee that the new version would conform to the ecclesiology and reflect the episcopal structure of the Church of England and its belief in an ordained clergy. The translation was done by 47 scholars, all of whom were members of the Church of England. In common with most other translations of the period, the New Testament was translated from Greek, the Old Testament was translated from Hebrew text, while the Apocrypha were translated from the Greek and Latin.
The Biblical apocrypha (from the Greek word aπόκρυφος, apókruphos, meaning "hidden") denotes the collection of ancient books found, in some editions of the Bible, in a separate section between the Old and New Testaments or as an appendix after the New Testament. Although the term apocrypha had been in use since the 5th century, it was in Luther's Bible of 1534 that the Apocrypha was first published as a separate intertestamental section. Luther was making a polemical point about the canonicity of these books. As an authority for this division, he cited St. Jerome, who in the early 5th century distinguished the Hebrew and Greek Old Testaments, stating that books not found in the Hebrew were not received as canonical. Although his statement was controversial in his day, Jerome was later titled a Doctor of the Church and his authority was also cited in the Anglican statement in 1571 of the Thirty-Nine Articles.
King James Version
The English-language King James Version (KJV) of 1611 followed the lead of the Luther Bible in using an inter-testamental section labelled "Books called Apocrypha", or just "Apocrypha" at the running page header. The KJV followed the Geneva Bible of 1560 almost exactly (variations are marked below). The section contains the following:
1 Esdras (Vulgate 3 Esdras)
2 Esdras (Vulgate 4 Esdras)
Tobit
Judith ("Judeth" in Geneva)
Rest of Esther (Vulgate Esther 10:4-16:24)
Wisdom
Ecclesiasticus (also known as Sirach)
Baruch and the Epistle of Jeremy ("Jeremiah" in Geneva) (all part of Vulgate Baruch)
Song of the Three Children (Vulgate Daniel 3:24-90)
Story of Susanna (Vulgate Daniel 13)
The Idol Bel and the Dragon (Vulgate Daniel 14)
Prayer of Manasses (follows 2 Chronicles in Geneva)
1 Maccabees
2 Maccabees
Included in this list are those books of the Clementine Vulgate that were not in Luther's canon. These are the books most frequently referred to by the casual appellation "the Apocrypha". These same books are also listed in Article VI of the Thirty-Nine Articles of the Church of England. Despite being placed in the Apocrypha, in the table of lessons at the front of some printings of the King James Bible, these books are included under the Old Testament.

Apocrypha / Deuterocanonical: Bible’s Lost Books:
The Apocrypha is a collection of ancient biblical books that were included in the original 1611 King James Bible (KJV) but were later removed in 1885. These texts were originally positioned between the Old Testament and the New Testament, alongside maps and genealogies. Some of these books are also known as Deuterocanonical books, a term used by the Catholic Church and other Christian traditions.
The 70 missing verses of 2 Esdras, which are not included in the King James Version Apocrypha, can be found in the Cambridge Annotated Study Apocrypha, edited by Howard C. Kee, and in the NRSV Holy Bible with Apocrypha, published by Oxford University Press.

Should the Apocrypha Be in the Bible?
The Apocrypha has been a subject of debate for centuries. Some argue these books were never part of the inspired Word of God, citing verses such as Tobit 6:5-8, which mentions magic, as inconsistent with the rest of the Bible. Others believe the Apocrypha was wrongly removed, pointing out that these books were included in the Bible for nearly 2,000 years before being taken out just over a century ago. Some claim that they were excluded due to their absence from the original Hebrew manuscripts, while others argue that publishers removed them to reduce printing costs.
Interestingly, fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls, dating back to before 70 A.D., contain portions of Apocryphal books in Hebrew, including Sirach and Tobit, suggesting that these texts were valued in early Jewish communities.
