Caspar Sibelius (9 June 1590 – 1 January 1658), was a Dutch Protestant minister.
Sibelius was born in Elberfeld (near Wuppertal) and was trained in Herborn and Siegen before attending Leiden University to study theology under Gomarus and Arminius, and Hebrew under Coddaeus.[1] On his return he became minister in Randerode (where he married the mayor's daughter Maria Klock, in 1610), Geilenkirchen and Gulik. In 1617 he was sent to the Hague, where he received a stipend for preaching in Nijmegen. He was called the same year to Deventer, where he stayed for 30 years until leaving service in 1648.[1]
In 1618 he attended the Overijssel Synod in Vollenhove and was chosen there to represent Overijssel in the Synod of Dordrecht, though he returned sick with fever in 1619 to Deventer. He was later chosen as revisor of the New Testament and Apocryphal gospels.[1] In 1633–1634, he worked on the translation of the Staten-Bible in the house of Antonius Walaeus, professor of religion, on the RapenburginLeiden. He was there along with the original living translators, and the paid observers:
