In Roman Catholicism, following the numbering of the Vulgate, 3 Esdras refers to the book known in the Septuagint and by Protestants as 1 Esdras.

In Slavonic and Russian Bibles and some old Latin manuscripts 3 Esdras (sometimes also referred to as Ezra/Shealtiel or the Apocalypse of Ezra), refers to the book known as 2 Esdras by Protestants and 4 Esdras in the Roman Catholic Vulgate.
