Abstract

The aim of the article is to show that the wording of certain verses in Bible translations may have been shaped to suit the doctrine of those branches of Christendom which produced these translations. This will be done with the use of versions of certain of the verses from the New Testament to which relates the Catholic doctrine of the Eucharist, as the form and meaning of these verses have been battlegrounds of a theological struggle between Catholics and Protestants – most violent during the time of the Protestant Reformation. In the research I used two most important Polish translations of the New Testament made in the age of the Reformation: the Protestant Biblia Gdańska (1606) and the Catholic Biblia Jakuba Wujka (1599).
