The Roman Catholic Church removed these 14 Books out of the 1611 King James Bible. The Apocrypha is a selection of old books which were included in the 1611 version of the King James Bible in between the Old and New Testament. It was later removed in 1885 A.D. A portion of these apocrypha books have been called deuterocanonical books by the Catholic church and Church of the East. The word 'Apocrypha' literally means 'hidden.' Fragments of Dead Sea Scrolls dating back to before 70 A.D. contained parts of the apocrypha books in Hebrew, including Sirach and Tobit.
