Answer:

Martin Luther

The Luther Bible (German: Lutherbibel) is a German language Bible translation from Hebrew and ancient Greek by Martin Luther. The New Testament was first published in 1522 and the complete Bible, containing the Old and New Testaments with Apocrypha, in 1534.

Step-by-step explanation:

This bible differs from the others presented here because it is in German. Martin Luther (1483-1546), leader of the German Protestant Reformation, sought to place the Bible into the hands of ordinary Christians. He translated it from Latin--the language of scholars and clergy--into the German vernacular.
