Bless 5.5e 2024 vs. 5e 2014 edition differences
The 2024 version specifies "up to 1 minute" duration, while the 2014 version states exactly 1 minute. The 2024 version states "adds 1d4 to the attack roll or save," whereas the 2014 version states "roll a d4 and add the number rolled." The 2024 version clarifies "up to three creatures" without "of your choice," but this is not a mechanical change.
