The shortest verse in the Bible is in the King James Version, written by a renowned artist - Apparently.
The shortest verse in the Bible is John 11:35, which reads, "Jesus wept." However, when the King James Version was published in 1611, the artist and illustrator Francis Tallis, who was tasked with creating the illustrations and typography, took it upon himself to add an image to this verse. The illustration, a simple depiction of Jesus weeping, has since become a notable example of the intersection of art and scripture. This unusual example of an artist's influence on a biblical translation is still studied by scholars today.
