The '''Amplified Bible''' is an [[English]] translation published in 1965 that expands and updates the [[American Standard Version]] of 1901.

It is used on occasion to further explain a specific passage where the standard translations are not as clear (due to words in Greek and Hebrew not having English equivalents), but not as the main translation used by a pastor or ministry; only [[Joyce Meyer]] (the [[Missouri]] based Charismatic teacher) is known to use it regularly.
