João Ferreira Annes de Almeida, was a Portuguese Protestant pastor; the eponymous Bible translation he began also goes by his name. Ferreira de Almeida, born in Torres de Tavares, Portugal, is best known for his translation of the Bible into Portuguese, which he began at the age of 16, and continued translating until his death. He translated the New Testament completely and most books of the Old Testament. The translation was completed by his friend, Jacob op den Akker.

  • João Ferreira Annes de Almeida, was a Portuguese Protestant pastor; the eponymous Bible translation he began also goes by his name. Ferreira de Almeida, born in Torres de Tavares, Portugal, is best known for his translation of the Bible into Portuguese, which he began at the age of 16, and continued translating until his death. He translated the New Testament completely and most books of the Old Testament. The translation was completed by his friend, Jacob op den Akker. He was a Dutch Reformed pastor and worked with churches in Java, and also preached in Goa on the Indian subcontinent (at the time a Portuguese colony, now part of India). Ferreira de Almeida died in Batavia, Java. Little is known his life; the majority of facts come from the preface of his Bible translation .
  • João Ferreira de Almeida fue una importante personalidad del protestantismo portugués, especialmente conocido por haber traducido la Biblia en el idioma portugués.
  • Filho de pais católicos, João Ferreira de Almeida nasceu na localidade de Torre de Tavares, concelho de Mangualde, em Portugal. Ficou órfão ainda em criança e veio a ser criado na cidade de Lisboa por um tio que era membro de uma ordem religiosa. Pouco se sabe sobre a infância e início da adolescência de Almeida, mas afirma-se que teria recebido uma excelente educação visando a sua entrada no sacerdócio. Não se sabe o que teria levado Almeida a sair de Portugal mas talvez isso se devesse à forte influência exercida pela Inquisição em Portugal. Viajou para a Holanda e, aos 14 anos, embarcou para a Ásia, passando pela Batavia, na ilha de Java, Indonésia. Naquela época, a Batávia era o centro administrativo da Companhia Holandesa das Índias Orientais, no sudeste da Ásia.
