William Tyndale's New Testament
In 1526, with immense pressure against him from the English King and church, William Tyndale published the first English New Testament.
Tyndale determined to give the English people a translation of the Bible that even a plowboy could understand.
Tyndale exhorted that it was in the language of Israel that the Psalms were sung in the temple of Jehovah; and "shall not the gospel speak the language of England among us?...Ought the church to have less light at noonday than at dawn?... Christians must read the New Testament in their mother tongue.”
Betrayed by a false friend and sentenced to death, Tyndale was strangled and burnt at the stake in 1536.
His New Testament translation went on to profoundly influence many future English Bibles.
His death speaks loudly of the cost paid that we might have an English Bible today.
