These 5 Words Could Get you Killed! William Tyndale and the English Bible

William Tyndale was a gifted linguist who changed history with his acumen for translation. However, it also sealed his fate. So what is Tyndale's impact on the English speaking world? The Bible? And our lives today? Better check out the video.

William Tyndale is my 14th great-grandfather on my mother's side. Thank you for doing this! Be blessed, from Houston

[@TheCaffeinatedBible]

Wow. Now I never expected this video to make connections like this. Thanks so much for sharing your lineage to Tyndale.

Tyndale was the BEST translator. He solved Rev 13:18 in his time. It's a shame he was killed prior to finishing the Bible. Enoch (Priest & Prophet)

Hi Cousin! I am a direct in line descendant also.The family name was changed to Tyndall when the family moved to New Zealand in late 1800's.

Wow

[@jacobbamen682]

Jesus bless you!! William Tyndale standardized the English language. First ever to create a glossary with His translation. The first dictionary wasn't produced until the 1700's. Tyndale's translation is the standard. Nearly over 90% of his translation is used in all modern English versions including Kjv.

Thanks for the feedback as well

[@neiluscook2283]

Excellent! Tyndale utterly transformed the people's minds and lives. His last words were Lord, open the eyes of the King of England, or something like that. God did! This man's life is valuable beyond compare! Now one can see a clear division between the Roman Hierarchy, and the Biblical faith of the true Saints. Unfortunately, many Christian "churches " have degenerated to that same form of doctrine that Rome always promotes. Salvation is by repentance and trust in God's grace, in his word! And not an organization, however "Christian " it poses itself to be. Thanks for your history lesson! I'm a new sub. May God bless you and all HIS PEOPLE!

[@danstauffer7572]

Fascinating! I had not considered the tremendous impact of how Tyndale had translated those five words. Your presentation is rich and thought provoking. On a lighter note, I could not help but marvel that, centuries later in our time, anyone could easily obtain and freely display a Tyndale Bible without any consequence whatsoever; I think that I'll get a copy and display it on the coffee table just because I can!

[@beem6401]

Amen! But read it too.There are little words here and there that come out to you that may have been lost later on as spelling and grammer changed and grew.

[@tomfuller5585]

I'm a Wesleyan clergyman. It has always amazed me, how some clergy...large numbers, no less...work hard to prevent the spread of the Gospel. They have a vested interest in preventing regular folks from knowing what is in the Bible. In my former increasingly-liberal denomination, clergy have deemphasized Bible study and stopped sending evangelistic missionaries to foreign countries. And I think I understand why. If laity know the Bible, they will see through clergy's self-serving, erroneous teaching and preaching. Some things don't change.

[@jamescastle7107]

Dave, superb explanation of William Tyndale and his English translation of the Bible.

[@jeffreyjourdonais298]

Great video, especially appreciated the 5 words theme. I've always considered Tyndall to be a man sent by God at the exact time that he was needed. In the movie, "A Return to Grace", the writers emphasized that he was martyred for his version of the N.T. ,( as well as proclaiming the adultery of Henry VIII ) and that Henry the VIII later approved his version for the modern bibles of the time. The fact that our modern bibles are so influenced by his version speaks to his special gift. I thank God for this man.

[@jasongivens7469]

Thank you so much..I thought King James was the only English translation..we are perishing for lack of knowledge..I've since watched many videos to find more PLEASE CONTINUE ON .WE DESPARTLY NEED IT..I'm looking now how to put all this Bible History in a short version for my Sunday school class..

[@kimgallegos6811]

King James translated after Tyndale or Wyclif

[@jamesromano6859]

Dave, thanks for this! There is so much to that time. One big factor was that moment of transition still moving from Middle to Early Modern English and the language being regarded as backward and useless. There had already been fully authorized translations into French, for instance, so it was not just that all Bible translation was banned by the RC Church. So part of the story is the marginalization of the English language and Britain in general, along with the ferment of the Reformation. Then the wild politics of the age! Along with the advent of the printing press, there is a really rich heritage in this history, with so many moving parts.

[@TheCaffeinatedBible]

Thanks Jim. Yep - wild times

Thank you for this very important teaching of understanding all the sacrifices that went into us having the wonderful Word of God available to each of us. My question is the comparison of this present age to the age that brought the freedom to read, study and know God's Word. The price of this Word of God then was bought by blood and sacrifice. The loss of appreciating this gift will result in the Loss of possessing the freedom to own, study and know God's Word, thus catapulting us into that last "Dark Age", the Tribulation.

Actually he was executed more for going against Henry VIII divorce of Catherine of Aragon and trump up charges of heresy. Also wasn't Eramus a Catholic who translated the Textus receptus which is the basis for KJV.

[@TheCaffeinatedBible]

Tyndale's "The Practice of Prelates" was one of the reasons for his execution. But the long dispute over his translation and making the Bible available in English were what led up to that. And Tyndale did make use of Erasmus' Greek text for his translation work. Thanks for the thoughtful comments and questions.

[@afrocentricalbion]

How many people could read at the time this book was translated? If you can't read the words for yourself, you are still hearing someone else's interpretation.

[@TheCaffeinatedBible]

Literacy was rapidly spreading during this time. Also most of the time reading was a group activity (not individual like today). So if you couldn’t read, or read well, you could listen as someone else read. It was a lot like music. Today we can listen to it by ourselves. Back then you had to be with others who could play it to experience music.

[@danieldelewis2448]

The Strongs Bible concordance is considered a very accurate method of translation

[@TheCaffeinatedBible]

It is. For the King James Version. It is an index of every word in the King James not a translation tool or dictionary. So if you want to find every instance of the word ‘moon’ (or any other word used in the KJV) it is an excellent tool. Also it is keyed to the Textus Receptus not more recent Greek texts mainly because it was done in 1890 before we had the UBS or NA texts.

Need to read more on Tyndale. He was an incredibly gifted linguist whose work still impacts our use of English to this day and really not fair to compare him to our current Supreme Court

[@phunter24]

Gray Mann, you think that the Roman Catholic Church's Douay-Rheims Bible or Latin Vulgate were not translated according to the whim of the popes of the Vatican? If you've done your homework, you should know that the Roman Church has multiple translations and that when Jerome was commissioned to translate a new version from the Latin Vulgate, he found errors in the older (Catholic) version. The oldest manuscripts have the word for "Peter" in Greek as "Petros." Rome changed it to "Petra" although this would make Peter "feminine" since "Petra" is feminine in Latin. Petros means small stone or pebble. Rome knew that if they kept his name as "Petros," they wouldn't be able to claim that their Church was built on him. Too bad some people can point the finger at one church or bible translation and can't see their own church or bible translations' errors. Even the word baptism was mistranslated by Rome. They knew that it originally meant "submersion" or "immersion." That's why, originally, Catholics were submerged in water rather than sprinkled. If sprinkling were the correct way than John the Baptist would not have brought Jesus down into the Jordan to baptize him.

[@phunter24]

@@TheCaffeinatedBible , your response to Gray Mann was great. However, I don't think he even cared. He sounds like he's Catholic and could care less if Tyndale was a master linguist.

The most important false translation of "the Bible" is YHWH in "The Lord". YHWH is not God The Father.

[@TheCaffeinatedBible]

Its is The LORD in most translations. And it is a translation for a word that makes no sense in Hebrew. The use of all caps in most translations is meant as a heads-up that YHWH was the Hebrew behind this translation.

[@Mr_Friendly_B]

@@TheCaffeinatedBible Of course the word makes no sense since it's a name. YHWH is how this name was written since there were no voyels in ancient hebrew, YHWH was simply one of the Elohims (the so called "Gods") of the Bible. Their boss was Elyon (who was not God either) and YHWH was submitted to him, see the real transaltion of Deuteronomy 32:8-9 : "“When Elyon gave each nation its heritage, when he divided the human race, he assigned the boundaries of peoples according to the sons of the Elohims. But YHWH’s share was his own people, Jacob his allotted heritage." Elyon has been ridiculously translated as "The Most High", YHWH translated as "The Lord" and Elohim as "God" in a disgusting attempt to make us believe that the so called "old testament" is talking about a unique God. The real God, whom Jesus called his Father or "the Father", has nothing to do with these degenerate creatures. Jesus said several times to the Jews that the old testament was "THEIR scrpitures", not His word or "the word of God". Soon or latter you'll have to understand and admit that the Bible is not the word of God, you can know God only through what Jesus told us about Him.
