NY man finishes writing out entire Bible by hand

Screenshot 2013-05-12 at 10.00.23 PMFour years after he began his project to write out every word of the Bible, Phillip Patterson penned the very last lines Saturday at an upstate New York church.

“Every single curly-q, every single loop, it was all worth it,” said Patterson, 63, moments after inking the final two verses of the King James Bible. “I’m really going to miss this writing.”

It took Patterson just a few minutes to copy the final lines of the Book of Revelation before a crowd of about 125 people at St. Peter’s Presbyterian Church in Spencertown. He ended the ceremony by saying “Amen.”

Patterson, of Philmont, began copying the complete King James Bible in his neat, looping handwriting in 2009. He spent two years copying the first five books of the Bible as a prototype before starting fresh. He said he’ll spend about another year working on the book’s binding and covers before donating the fully completed Bible – more than 2,400 pages – to St. Peter’s as a gift.

For now, he said, he’ll just have to get used to his new life without holding a Pigma Micron pen every day.
