00:12The year was 1525. There was one official church.
00:17All religious writings and ceremonies were in Latin,
00:21a language not understood by most of the people.
00:24The translation and distribution of the Bible in English had been outlawed,
00:28a crime punishable by death.
00:31Driven by the idea that God meant all people to understand his word plainly,
00:37some men risked their lives and worked tirelessly to translate the Bible into the common language.
00:43Such a man was...
00:45William Tyndale.
00:48William! We are discovered!
00:50What? How? I've made arrangements for the next ship. We must leave!
00:55The Old Testament translations. Not one note must be left behind.
00:59Make haste! Follow me!
01:06I want anyone caught in possession of these books to be arrested and tried for heresy!
01:14Burn every book, every page, every piece of paper! There is so much as a remnant of it!
01:21William Tyndale! I shall have my way with you, wherever you might be!
01:31The Old Testament smelling!
01:43We must leave!
01:51Probe ta ta ima ima speech, no, voice, and I recognize, no, not recognize, and
02:16I, yes, my sheep, hear my voice, ta, Probe ta, finished, good, our dinner guest will
02:45be here shortly, and Lady Anne and I would like you to join us.
02:51Sir John, come in, come in.
02:54I see our children's tutor is hard at work during his spare time.
02:58Now, tell me, what did you finish during these hours, a gospel?
03:03Would that were the case, but no, I just finished translating one more sentence.
03:09I see.
03:09It is scripture, it must be done just right.
03:15My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
03:21Surely, Sir John, we are to understand, as well as hear, surely the common people...
03:26I know, they must have the scriptures.
03:30Yes, in English, and not just Latin.
03:33I suppose you will tell me to be cautious.
03:37I admire your courage, William, and your knowledge, which is why I have asked you to tutor my children.
03:44But you must not forget that teaching the scriptures in English among the people is against the law.
03:52You are a scholar, and as a study in languages, this translation is acceptable.
03:58But outside of this room, well, these are most uncertain times.
04:05You will recall what happened in Coventry.
04:09And so rains came, and the waves rose high, high, high.
04:16But the wise man's house stood strong.
04:21But the foolish man did not do as Jesus told him.
04:26And so, when the storm blew, the foolish man's house came down.
04:33Blonde!
04:36Tell us another, Father.
04:39Oh, please!
04:40Oh, and one more.
04:42Mother says it's off to bed with you.
04:45Now, let's gather round and ask God's blessing.
04:48Head bowed.
04:50Good boy.
04:52Our Father in heaven,
04:54hallowed be thy name.
04:56May thy kingdom come,
04:58thy will be done,
05:00on this earth.
05:09Your activities have been reported
05:12by the authority of the Holy Mother Church.
05:16You are hereby arrested
05:17for the events of reciting and teaching
05:20the Lord's Prayer in the English language.
05:24And for this crime,
05:25you shall be punished by death
05:28and burned at the stake.
05:31Come on, honey.
05:32Leave him alone.
05:33Stop.
05:34Richard, no.
05:36Leave him.
05:36Leave him.
05:37Please stop.
05:38No.
05:40John.
05:41You can't.
05:47So it is with anyone caught circulating
05:49the scriptures in English.
05:51Trial by fire.
05:53And so light must be brought
05:54by one means or another, Sir John.
05:56The word of God is a light unto our path.
05:59It is for all the people to understand
06:01and not for the church only.
06:06Come now.
06:07Our dinner guest is waiting.
06:10I repeat.
06:11It is the church which has the authority
06:13to interpret sacred scriptures,
06:15not the commoners.
06:16Yet Christ saw fit to teach
06:18the common people your grace.
06:20True.
06:21He has a point.
06:22A point which will prick him.
06:24And?
06:25And, Christ said,
06:27the counselor, the Holy Spirit,
06:29he will teach you all things.
06:32And so he does.
06:33Through the church and its interpretation.
06:37You're a scholar.
06:38An expert in five languages.
06:41Eight.
06:42Precisely.
06:43Think of the preparation
06:45you have had to understand scripture.
06:47To translate it.
06:48The Holy Spirit helps each person
06:50to understand it
06:51in a way that helps him to follow God.
06:54Andrew.
06:55Sir?
06:57Non te deseram neque dereliquem.
07:01I beg your pardon, Sir?
07:03Did you know that Jesus said,
07:07I will always be with you.
07:09I will never leave you.
07:11Really, Sir?
07:13That's wonderful.
07:14I shall remember that
07:16when I miss my father.
07:17For heaven's sake,
07:19he's a child.
07:20You know very well
07:21that Christ spoke in parables
07:23difficult to understand.
07:25Not in common, plain talk.
07:27Woe to you,
07:29teachers of the law,
07:30for you shut the kingdom of heaven
07:32and in men's faces.
07:33You yourselves do not enter,
07:35nor will you let those enter
07:36who are trying to.
07:38How plain a word is that?
07:40William.
07:41Forgive me, Lady Anne,
07:42but it's important to remember
07:44that the New Testament
07:45was written in the Greek language.
07:47The koine,
07:48the language of the common people.
07:50I cannot see
07:51how we can take it upon ourselves
07:53to withhold something
07:54that God
07:54has so freely
07:56and intentionally
07:57given to us all,
07:58regardless of whether
08:00we judge anyone
08:00to be a simpleton
08:02or not.
08:03Every person
08:04is the object
08:05of Christ's affection
08:07and sacrifice.
08:08I believe our lively discussion
08:11has...
08:11Ended!
08:13You may think yourself
08:15a bright scholar,
08:16but you are young
08:16and you are inexperienced.
08:18If your reckless behaviour
08:19is any indication
08:21of what would happen
08:22should the word of God
08:22get into the wrong hands,
08:24then we were better
08:25without God's word
08:26than the church's.
08:28And, sir,
08:30the Bible states,
08:32the grass withers,
08:33the flower fades,
08:34but the word of our God
08:37stands forever.
08:39If God spare my life,
08:41I will cause a ploughboy
08:44to know more scripture
08:45than the average priest.
08:47Oh, William!
08:47If God spare your life,
08:50tread carefully,
08:52Master Tyndale.
08:53The fire is never far
08:55from a heretic.
08:59Sir John,
09:01Lady Anne,
09:02your hospitality as usual
09:03is most gratifying.
09:05Your choice of house guests
09:06I regret
09:07is another matter entirely.
09:08Good evening.
09:13I fear I have ruined
09:15your dinner.
09:15Ha!
09:16You have ruined his!
09:17And I enjoyed
09:18every minute of it.
09:19Though I do agree
09:21with the Archdeacon,
09:22William.
09:23You should be careful.
09:25Should?
09:26You must.
09:27There must be a way
09:28to work out
09:29William's vision
09:30within the church
09:30and thus avoid danger.
09:32Would there be a way?
09:34Oh, judging by this evening,
09:35I doubt it.
09:36Well, I don't.
09:38Might I suggest
09:38a gentleman known
09:39for his love of the scriptures
09:40as well as his good standing
09:42within the church?
09:43Dr. Latimer is his name
09:45and I believe
09:46a gentleman of good counsel.
09:47I shall be glad
09:48to speak to him
09:49on your behalf.
09:52And so,
09:53you see my dilemma,
09:54Dr. Latimer.
09:54In my heart,
09:56I know that God
09:57wants all people everywhere
09:58to hear his words plainly
10:00and to understand them.
10:02But the church denies me
10:04the right to make it so.
10:06Yet...
10:06Oh, sir,
10:08there seems no way.
10:09But there is a way.
10:12The king?
10:13Perhaps.
10:15But there is yet another step
10:18we can take.
10:20The Bishop of London.
10:22He has the authority
10:24to commission
10:24a Bible translation.
10:26Yes.
10:27And sponsor you
10:29as you do it.
10:31That is,
10:33if he is willing.
10:34Oh, sir.
10:35Lady Anne has contacts
10:37in London
10:37to make the needed
10:38arrangements for your move.
10:40Move?
10:42But leave.
10:43Leave Sir John
10:44and Lady Anne.
10:45I'm responsible
10:45for tutoring their children.
10:47I couldn't.
10:47And why not?
10:48Is not your vision
10:51worth the cost?
10:52Listen to me, William.
10:54If you are to pursue
10:56this vision of yours,
10:57you'd do best to prepare
10:59for greater hardships
11:00than that.
11:02And everyone
11:03that has forsaken
11:05houses or brethren
11:06or lands
11:07for my sake
11:08and the Gospels
11:09shall receive
11:10a hundredfold.
11:13Then London it is.
11:15Perhaps God
11:16is opening a door.
11:27Well?
11:32That bad, eh?
11:38Now, William,
11:39it's not all that bad,
11:40is it?
11:42How say you?
11:43I have been here
11:44a full month.
11:45I finally
11:46get an appointment
11:47to see my Lord
11:48the Bishop.
11:49And his answer
11:50is...
11:51No?
11:52Oh, Will!
11:54What is the use?
11:55I have knocked on doors.
11:56I have begged and pleaded.
11:58I have pursued
11:58every means
11:59to gain the consent
12:00of the Church.
12:01But every door,
12:02it seems,
12:02has been slammed
12:03in my face.
12:04So then,
12:05what will you do?
12:08If I cannot do
12:09God's work
12:10with the Church's
12:11permission,
12:12then I shall do
12:13God's work
12:14without it.
12:21Sir Monmouth!
12:22Ah!
12:23Oh!
12:24Huh!
12:25Ah, William!
12:27Oh, you startled me.
12:28For a moment there,
12:29I thought you were...
12:32Oh, never mind.
12:34It's good to see you.
12:36How was your meeting
12:37with the Bishop?
12:37Not as I had expected,
12:39which is why
12:40I have come to see you.
12:42Do you suppose
12:43we might have a word
12:44in private?
12:50So that is how
12:51the books are brought in.
12:52Sermons from Luther
12:53in sacks of fruit.
12:55Fruit for the stomach
12:56and food for the soul.
12:58Ha!
12:59But no Bibles.
13:00No, not in English.
13:03No.
13:04And they can't be
13:05printed in England.
13:06Not with Woolsey's
13:07threat of burning.
13:08No, no.
13:10Then I shall have to go
13:11as far from Woolsey's
13:12heat as possible.
13:13Hmm?
13:15Germany.
13:17Germany?
13:19You print and smuggle
13:20books in.
13:21Why can't you smuggle
13:22a slightly larger
13:23parcel out?
13:26You mean...
13:30Then you best say
13:32goodbye to England
13:33forever.
13:35You will be
13:36a hunted fugitive,
13:37William.
13:37The church will not
13:39stand for it
13:39and you know
13:40they will persuade
13:41the king
13:42to help them
13:43track you down.
13:45It will be
13:46a great price
13:47to pay.
13:49Not any greater
13:50than the Lord's
13:50sacrifice for us.
13:52I am ready.
14:00With very little
14:01money, Tyndale
14:02labored tirelessly
14:04and continued work
14:05on the translation
14:06of the 27 books
14:07of the New Testament
14:08which he had
14:08begun earlier.
14:11Once in Germany,
14:13Tyndale's New Testament
14:14was printed in secret
14:15and the small,
14:16pocket-sized books
14:18were smuggled
14:18into England.
14:23I want anyone
14:25caught in possession
14:26of these books
14:27to be arrested
14:28and tried
14:29for heresy.
14:31The New Testament
14:32copies quickly spread
14:33causing joy
14:34among the people
14:35but alarm
14:37among the church
14:37leaders who reacted
14:39by writing
14:39against Tyndale
14:40and denouncing
14:41his New Testament
14:42translation as
14:43filled with errors.
14:45Reluctantly,
14:46William stopped
14:47his translation work
14:48to reply to his critics
14:49and wrote a book
14:50entitled
14:51The Obedience
14:52of the Christian Man.
14:53Burn every book,
14:55every page,
14:56every piece of paper
14:58that is so much
14:59as a remnant of it.
15:00William Tyndale,
15:02I shall have my way
15:04with you
15:04wherever you might be.
15:08And God called to him
15:10from within the bush
15:11Moses, Moses,
15:13and Moses said,
15:14Here I am.
15:16A wonderful print job,
15:17her, Peter.
15:18We shall soon have
15:19a goodly part
15:19of the Old Testament
15:20completed.
15:21And that page
15:22will be printed
15:22tonight, as usual.
15:24But for now,
15:26it is best kept hidden
15:27and away from prying eyes.
15:30We may have certain
15:31freedoms here in Germany,
15:32but there are many
15:33still powerful people
15:34opposed to these works.
15:36Diederik!
15:40Now, please,
15:41off you go.
15:43You to your writing
15:44and I to my printing.
15:46Vera sagt muss auch sagt.
15:48You must finish
15:49what you start.
15:50God save you
15:51and good day,
15:52Herr Quintel.
15:53Your pardon, sir.
15:55After you, please.
15:56Good afternoon,
15:58Herr Quintel.
15:59Good afternoon,
16:00Herr Cochleus.
16:01I will be with you
16:02shortly.
16:16Excuse me, sir.
16:21And how is my work
16:23coming along?
16:24It is done, Herr Cochleus.
16:26Wonderful.
16:27Then this calls
16:28for a celebration,
16:29does it not?
16:30Will you join us,
16:31Herr Quintel?
16:32It is nearly
16:32your closing time.
16:34Not tonight,
16:35Danker.
16:35I have work
16:37to attend to,
16:38but you go along
16:39and enjoy yourselves.
16:41Then we shall drink
16:41to your good work.
16:43Ein...
16:46Toast!
16:54Das ist Goldbeer,
16:56ja.
16:57Gravens der Haart.
17:00And loosens die Tongue.
17:02Now then,
17:03tell me
17:03about this
17:04mysterious book
17:06that you are printing.
17:09You mean
17:10the English Bible.
17:31William,
17:32we are discovered.
17:33What?
17:34How?
17:35Herr Cochleus,
17:36one of the printers' clients,
17:37a very influential man
17:38with strong ties
17:39to the church.
17:40Somehow,
17:40he found out.
17:42The magistrate's soldiers
17:42are at the print shop now.
17:44William,
17:44it's just a matter of moments
17:45before they come here.
17:46I've made arrangements
17:47for the next ship.
17:48We must leave.
17:49The Old Testament translations.
17:51Not one note
17:51must be left behind.
18:04This way.
18:15Speak up,
18:17man.
18:18Her name,
18:19printer.
18:20Give me his name.
18:22I'm not sure.
18:24Your Honor,
18:25you illegally print
18:26the scriptures
18:26in English
18:28for someone
18:29whose name
18:29you do not recall.
18:31I...
18:36Peter Quartel,
18:37you have lost
18:39your business.
18:40Will you also
18:41lose your life
18:42and burn
18:43as a heretic?
18:46Give me
18:47a name!
19:05William...
19:06His name is
19:07William Tyndale.
19:10Find Tyndale!
19:11Find that heretic!
19:14Find William Tyndale!
19:24What now?
19:25To a safer harbor,
19:27my friend.
19:28And to finish the work
19:29that God has set before us.
19:31Come what may,
19:32but for now,
19:33a good night's rest.
19:34I've had enough
19:35excitement for one day.
19:44We're sinking!
19:47We're sinking!
19:48We're sinking!
19:51We're sinking!
19:52Gone!
19:53All the Old Testament
19:54manuscripts,
19:55the translations,
19:56we've lost it all!
19:58We are yet alive!
20:00The Lord will sustain us!
20:01The Lord will sustain us!
20:15The Obedience of the Christian Man,
20:18a prohibited book.
20:20This is heresy
20:21and could very well
20:23cost you your life.
20:24How did you come about this?
20:26I am the one to blame,
20:28Your Highness.
20:29You?
20:31Lady Anne?
20:32Phew!
20:37And what have you
20:38to do with a book
20:38of this nature,
20:39my dear?
20:40Having heard so much
20:41about it,
20:42my Lord,
20:43I did my very best
20:44to obtain a copy.
20:46My maid,
20:47who reads to me,
20:49kept it in her possession,
20:50and in a spirit
20:52of playfulness,
20:53her acquaintance
20:54took it from her,
20:56only to be caught with it.
20:59So you truly are
21:01the culprit.
21:02Indeed, my Lord.
21:04Yet I found its reasoning
21:06quite remarkable.
21:08For instance?
21:10God does not hold kings
21:12subservient to the church,
21:13for they are a God-appointed
21:15office in themselves.
21:17Ha!
21:18Ha!
21:18He has his wits about him.
21:20The bishops are indeed
21:21a thorn in our flesh,
21:22and we could use a man
21:23that isn't afraid
21:24to speak his mind.
21:25This
21:28William Tyndale.
21:30Then Your Highness
21:31must also offer him pardon,
21:33for as his writings
21:34are prohibited,
21:35it is my understanding
21:36that he lives a fugitive,
21:38somewhere on the continent,
21:39I believe.
21:40Hmm.
21:41Then we shall offer him
21:42safe conduct
21:43and a way to be of use
21:44to his king.
21:45Bring him to me!
21:48Come now.
21:50Let us walk together.
21:59So you finally found him?
22:01Yes, Your Majesty.
22:02I have found
22:03Master Tyndale.
22:05Or should I say,
22:06he found me.
22:08Oh?
22:09In Belgium,
22:10Your Majesty.
22:11I was there to him,
22:12just outside the city of Antwerp,
22:14where he was waiting for me.
22:15I put forth
22:16your gracious offer
22:17of safe conduct
22:17to be part of your court.
22:19He, uh,
22:21was reluctant,
22:23Your Grace.
22:24Reluctant?
22:25Thinking he feared
22:26for his life.
22:27I assured him
22:29of your kind intention,
22:30my lord,
22:30and of the death
22:32of Cardinal Thomas Walsley.
22:34However,
22:35it seems I was mistaken
22:37to think he was concerned
22:38for his own safety.
22:39He spoke of a continual persecution
22:42of the reformers,
22:43and, uh,
22:44I...
22:46He handed me a letter
22:48for Your Majesty.
22:53If it would stand
22:55with the king's
22:56most gracious pleasure
22:57to grant
22:57that only a small portion
22:59of scripture
22:59may be distributed
23:00among his people,
23:02whosoever's translation
23:04it may be,
23:04I will immediately
23:06make a faithful promise
23:07not to write more
23:08and to return
23:10to England,
23:11offering my body
23:12to suffer
23:13whatever punishment
23:14necessary,
23:15even death.
23:18Heal it.
23:18refuses our gracious request
23:21and gives us
23:22a condition
23:23to his return.
23:24A condition?
23:26This troublemaker
23:27to me?
23:29If I allow
23:31the scriptures
23:31to be distributed,
23:33then he will return.
23:35It is clear,
23:36Your Majesty,
23:37that you either,
23:38uh,
23:39submit to Tyndale
23:40and print his, uh,
23:42scriptures,
23:43or, as he threatens,
23:44he will continue
23:45to cause havoc
23:46among the people
23:47through his writings.
23:47He threatens the church,
23:50and now he,
23:51it seems he dares
23:53to threaten you.
23:54My Lord,
23:55I don't think that he...
23:56He dares to threaten me?
23:58Your Majesty,
23:59I don't...
23:59A threat indeed.
24:01I want him found
24:03and arrested.
24:04Anyone,
24:05anyone in possession
24:06of his writings
24:07will be hanged or burned,
24:09without exception.
24:12As persecution
24:13mounted in England,
24:15William continued
24:16to write,
24:16encouraging sincere Christians
24:18to stand firm
24:19for their faith.
24:21Do not fear men
24:23that threaten you,
24:24but trust God
24:25who is able
24:26to make good
24:27on his promise.
24:28Your cause
24:29is the gospel,
24:31a light
24:32that must be fed
24:33with the blood
24:33of our testimony,
24:35so that the light
24:36of the gospel
24:36will not go out.
24:38I will not have
24:40these writings
24:41stir up confusion
24:42and discontent
24:43among the people.
24:44The man must be stopped.
24:46You will not return
24:48to this place
24:48until you have found
24:50and apprehended
24:51this open wound,
24:53William Tyndale.
24:54Tyndale.
24:57Your grace.
25:06The Points family
25:08has been kind enough
25:08to support me
25:09as I translate.
25:10They are truly
25:11a godsend
25:12and I have no doubt
25:13they will welcome
25:13you to supper.
25:19William!
25:21Just in time
25:22for supper
25:22and a good one
25:24I might add.
25:25And I do hope
25:25you don't mind
25:26but I've brought
25:26along a new friend.
25:28William!
25:29You must be careful!
25:30Not to worry!
25:31He's an honest gentleman.
25:32Thomas Points,
25:33Henry Phillips.
25:35It is truly
25:36a pleasure.
25:42And so you see,
25:43Henry,
25:43just as the Apostle Paul
25:45clearly expressed himself
25:46to the early church
25:47in the language
25:47of his day,
25:48so we must have
25:49the scriptures
25:50in the common language
25:51today,
25:52else how can
25:53the followers
25:53heed the leader?
25:55I have learned
25:56much from you,
25:57William.
25:57And I from you.
25:59Ha!
25:59Would that be true?
26:01In any case,
26:02it is time
26:03I repay you,
26:04however humbly.
26:05Come,
26:06join me for a meal
26:07and let us talk more.
26:09Ah, two things
26:10I can never decline.
26:11Wonderful!
26:13Up to you.
26:17And further,
26:18I might add
26:18that Peter said,
26:20as newly born babes
26:21desire the milk
26:22of the word,
26:23the holy scriptures
26:25for babes,
26:26for the unlearned,
26:27the...
26:27William Tyndale!
26:29What?
26:31Run, Henry!
26:32Quickly!
26:33Henry!
26:34This way!
26:35William!
26:37William!
26:42Which way?
26:43Which?
26:44William!
26:45William!
26:48William!
26:49William Tyndale!
26:51You are under arrest!
26:53Oh!
26:53I shall have to have
26:55that meal
26:58all by myself.
27:00What?
27:02Henry?
27:03Farewell, William.
27:05It's been,
27:06shall we say,
27:08captivating.
27:11William Tyndale,
27:13you are under arrest.
27:15I am commanded
27:16to take you henceforth
27:17from this place
27:18to Vilvaard Castle.
27:21You stand,
27:23accused of heresy,
27:24teaching what is
27:25against Mother Church.
27:26I have neither written
27:27nor taught anything
27:29contrary to the
27:30holy scriptures.
27:31You break the laws
27:32of our church.
27:34Only when the church
27:35breaks the laws of God.
27:38So,
27:40you set yourself
27:41above the authority
27:43of the church.
27:44By God's grace,
27:44I am a servant
27:45of the church,
27:46insomuch as the church
27:47serves God.
27:48By your interpretation.
27:50By plain understanding
27:52of the holy scriptures.
27:56Your writings
27:57are smuggled
27:59into the hands
27:59of the common people.
28:01The holy word of God
28:02in common language.
28:04If the people
28:05seek the scriptures,
28:06it is only because
28:07their soul is hungry.
28:11Recant!
28:13Confess your fault!
28:16Renounce your writings.
28:18Perhaps you shall be spared.
28:22I cannot but do
28:24as my conscience dictates.
28:26Admit your guilt!
28:29I cannot but do
28:30as my conscience dictates.
28:33Then you
28:34shall
28:36burn!
28:38burn!
28:39Then I
28:41shall
28:42burn!
28:44Burn!
28:45Burn!
28:46Burn!
28:47Burn!
28:47Burn!
28:48Burn!
28:48William Tyndale,
28:50you are charged
28:51with heresy
28:52in that you have
28:54translated
28:55and distributed
28:56the holy scriptures
28:57in the
28:59English language
29:00which is
29:03in direct
29:04violation
29:04of both
29:06state
29:07and church.
29:08You have
29:09denied
29:09the authority
29:10of the one
29:12true church
29:13and are sentenced
29:14to be executed
29:16by burning.
29:20May God
29:21have mercy
29:22on your soul.
29:24to be continued...
29:59Lord, feed your sheep.
30:06Lord, open the king of England's eyes.
30:12Open the king of England's eyes.
30:35Open the king of England's eyes.
30:38Open the king of England's eyes.
30:40Open the king of England's eyes.
30:40Leave him alone.
30:44William's death seemed like a terrible defeat.
30:46But within two years, his dying prayer was wonderfully answered.
30:52King Henry ordered that every church in England make a copy of the English Bible available for public reading.
30:58Every church, Father?
30:59Every church.
31:00So you see, you and I can read God's word now because of the sacrifice that William and others made
31:07for us.
31:08Others like...
31:09Grandfather?
31:10Yes, Grandfather and other brave people like them who loved God's word.
31:16Grandfather taught me.
31:18Everyone who hears God's words and puts them into practice is like a...
31:24wise man who built his house on the rock.
31:26The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house.
31:34Yet it did not fall because it had its foundation at the rock.
31:39But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man
31:45who built his house on the sand.
31:47The rain came down, the streams...
31:49If God spare my life, I will cause a plowboy to know more scripture than the average priest.
32:01William Tyndale's work became the foundation for later editions of the Bible and has influenced our English Bible translations down
32:09to this day.
32:10The translation of the Bible into the many languages of the world is one of the great success stories of
32:15the Christian Church.
32:17Today, over six billion people now have some portion of the scriptures in their native tongue.
32:22That leaves about 380 million people worldwide without a Bible translation.
32:52So here are three natives.
32:54So now...
