The earliest Bible translation into Xhosa was mainly the work of missionaries of the Wesleyan Missionary Society such as William Shaw, William Boyce and others. The history of the Xhosa Bible started in 1833 when the first Book of the Bible (Luke) was translated in Grahamstown. The first complete Bible followed in 1859 but was published in one volume in 1864. This Bible's latest revision was done in 1975 and it is widely used until this day. The latest translation of the Bible in Xhosa was completed in 1996 and is a thought for thought translation.
