The Cotton Patch Version is a modern translation of the [[Holy Bible]] by Clarence Jordan published between 1968 and 1973.
It takes place in the [[United States]] in the south, and new objects and place names are all substituted in place of the [[Biblical]] ones. For example, [[Jesus]] is born in [[Georgia]], the wineskins in Matthew 9:17 became [[tires]], [[Gabriel]] tells [[Mary]] and [[Joseph]] to flee to [[Mexico]], and [[John the Baptist]] [[Category:Biblical Translations]] [[Category:Christianity]]is "dressed in blue jeans and a leather jacket, and...living on corn bread and collard greens." <ref>1</ref>
Similar to [[the Message]] Bible, the Cotton Patch Version tries to make the Bible relevent to modern people.
