The first complete translation of the Bible into English was done by John Wycliffe, an English theologian and reformer, in the 14th century. Wycliffe’s translation of the Bible was completed around 1382 and was based on the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard biblical text used by the Catholic Church at the time.

Wycliffe’s translation was handwritten, as printing had not yet been invented, and was distributed by his followers, known as Lollards. Despite being controversial at the time, Wycliffe’s translation of the Bible was highly influential, and it helped to pave the way for later English translations, such as the Tyndale Bible, the King James Version, and many others.
