2011 marks 400 years since the first ever edition of the King James Bible was completed in 1611, and as such has been declared a year of celebration by the King James Bible Trust.
The YouTube Bible is one of the ways this anniversary is being celebrated, and the King James Bible Trust is encouraging people of all ages and walks of life to read passages from the Bible while being filmed for YouTube. As a patron of the Trust, Prince Charles recently offered to participate in this reading.
The Prince of Wales read from John 14.1 - 14, a passage in which Jesus comforts his followers and tells them not to let their hearts be troubled.
His reading was recorded in the Chapel Royal of St James's Palace. Prince Charles will host a reception at Clarence house for members and supporters of the King James Bible Trust on March 17.
