The smell over whelming in the air. The brunt flesh cast a shadow
with the dark smoke
that the fire created. Some people cheered, some
people cried, and yet others smiled greedily
under hidden cloaks. The
people of England had decided to burn one man that stood up and
translated the bible from the original manuscripts into what we have
today. William Tyndale cried
out with his last breath, " O Lord, open
the King of England's eyes." The executioner first
strangled Tyndale in
order to keep him quiet about "his" word of God. William Tyndale has since
become known as "The Father of the English Bible." Without Tyndale and
his translation of the
original manuscripts later versions of the
English bible would not be available.
William Hutchinson, later changed
to Tyndale, was born around the date of 1494 AD.
Tyndale had an
exceptional gift of speaking over seven known languages. Tyndale attended
Oxford University and in 1512 he received his Bachelors Degree. After
another three years at
Oxford University Tyndale graduated with a
Masters Degree. In order to support his education
William Tyndale
tutored students from the higher class society. Tyndale joined the group called
"the White Horse Society." This group gathered together in order to
discuss the teachings of
Erasmus and Luther.
Then Tyndale was
learned and well practiced in God's matters, spared not to show unto
them simply and plainly his judgment, and when they at any time did vary
from Tyndale in
opinions, he would show them in the Book, and lay
plainly before them the open and manifest
places of the Scriptures, to
confute their errors, and confirm his sayings. And thus continued they
for a certain season, reasoning and contending together divers times,
until at length they waxed
weary, and bare a secret grudge in their
hearts against him. As this grew on, the priests of the
country,
clustering together, began to grudge and storm against Tyndale, railing against
him in
2
alehouses and other places, affirming that his sayings
were heresy; and accused him secretly to the
chancellor, and others of
the bishop's officers.
After a few short years Tyndale left "the White
Horse Society" and moved back home to
teach children. Tyndale preached
at Saint Austen's Green which resided in front of the Cathedral
of
Bristol. During Tyndale's stay at home he caused a commotion that consisted
charging him
with heresy. All of this was due to the teachings of the
"Lollardry." These people were followers
of John Whitcliffe that sent
themselves on missions to teach God's word to the people of the
nations.
The main "crime" of these people was that they believed that the pope was not
the sole
agent of God and only the word of God was the doctrine that
could be held for people. Not long
after, Tyndale happened to be in the
company of another man of God communing and disputing
with him, he drove
him to that issue, that the said great doctor burst out into these blasphemous
words, "We were better to be without God's laws than the pope's."
Tyndale, hearing this, full of
Godly zeal, and not bearing that
blasphemous saying, replied, "I defy the pope, and all his laws;"
In
1523 Tyndale moved to London where he met the Bishop of London (who happened to
be a close friend of Erasmus). With Tyndale being a "Lollardry" he asked
the Bishop for a letter
of introduction, but Bishop Tusntal refused to
grant the request that Tyndale asked for. Even
though Bishop Tusntal was
believed to be supportive of the Lollardry cause he still would not
grant the letter. Tyndale referred to the Bishop as "a ducking
hypocrite." Even with this minor set
back Tyndale would not give his
quest of giving God's word out to the nation.
Being refused of the
bishop he came to Humphrey Mummuth, alderman of London, and
besought him
to help him: who the same time took him into his house, where Tyndale lived (as
Mummuth said) like a good priest, studying both night and day. He would
not eat meat or drink
3
but small single beer. He was never seen
in the house to wear linen about him, all the time he lived
there. Each
day Tyndale increased his knowledge of the word and continually extended his
knowledge of God's great word.
Tyndale gave up his old life,
along with his friends, by moving to Germany so that he
could
continually follow his mission and translate the Bible Settling in Wittenburg
(the city of
Martin Luther) Tyndale translated the new testament. After
a short time Tyndale moved to the
city Cologne. At Cologne, Tyndale
finished translating the new testament and began printing the
first
copies of his Bible.
Tyndale printed copies of his Bible throughout the
lands. After the copies of Tyndale's
Bible began to sky rocket the
church started to worry about the power that Tyndale had gathered.
During this time the Tyndale translation became ever more popular the
church went to great
lengths to discredit and destroy Tyndale's Bible.
The church claimed that the Bible was full of
errors and the book should
be burned. Churches went as far as buying copies of the book in order
to
take the Bibles out of the common wealth's hands. Tyndale himself sold Bibles to
the church at
one time so that he could print twice as many Bibles with
the money he received.
During Tyndale's time he printed many copies and
the church placed the charge or heresy
on Tyndale. So that the church
could validate their claim they placed Tyndale on trial, had him
strangled, and burned at the stake. Tyndale became one of God's martyrs
in his early 40's. To
insure that Tyndale would not preach to the people
he was first strangled to death before being
burned for his illegitimate
crime.
Tyndale's translation gave a pathway for all the future
translations to follow. The King
James version came from Tyndale's
Translation. Tyndale's translation survived other translations
4
such as the Coverdale Bible and the Great Bible. Tyndale holds credit to
about ninety percent of
the Bible we use today.
Through
Tyndale's great accomplishments during his time every English speaking country
now could have a Bible in their home. Tyndale was a great man who
throughout his life face
struggles and always turned toward God's book
for answers to his life. Tyndale would use the
Bible to denounce the
Pope and every Church official who would try to discredit him. Tyndale
was put to test after test by each person he encountered in his life.
Without support from the
Bishop of England and a few followers Tyndale
translated the entire Bible into modern times
English.
Tyndale
listened to what God was calling him to do and by this he translated
successfully
the Bible for the English speaking nations. Through their
cries he answered them in English from
God's word. In doing this feat
Tyndale managed to make the possibility for all Englishman to read
the
word of God at home and away from the church.
Tyndale changed countless
lives during his short life span but even though Tyndale was
killed by
the church they later repented and accepted Tyndale's work using it for the
translation of
the King James version of the Bible. Tyndale set himself
up as a great man but remained humble
under the power of God. Tyndale
did not boast of his translation but merely he wanted every
English man,
woman, and child to have one of his Bibles so that they may be able to read it
in
their own tongue. William Tyndale died a martyr but lives as a hero
today.
Without the men like Tyndale every nation would be at the mercy
of the church. Tyndale
did not want only a select few to be able to pass
the word of God out to the people. During
Tyndale's time the people had
to attend church in order to hear the word of God. Less people
5
could read Latin (the main translation of the Bible during those times).
While even less people
could read and understand Greek and Hebrew.
Tyndale accomplish both feats and translated the
Greek and Hebrew into
English. With Tyndale's power of the spirit he made it possible for each
person after him to read the Bible in away that was easy for them, in
their own native tongue,
English.
