Description: The translation of the Bible into the common language, in particular the work of William Tyndale, facilitated the knowledge of the return of the Jews to their ancient homeland.
Tyndale's final words, 'Lord, open the eyes of the king of England' came to pass in the Bible we have today.
Provable Bible Truth
- Why watch it?
Because the story of the English Bible is not dry history. It is a provable, inspiring account of how God’s Word was recovered from the original Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek Scriptures, printed, and made available to ordinary people—often at the cost of life. We trace Wycliffe, Erasmus, Tyndale, the printing press, and the profound impact on faith, language and the restoration of Israel.
What question does this video answer?
Why was the first English Bible translated from the original languages so monumental, and why should we value it today?
Answer: It met the same need seen in Acts 2, where Jews from many nations heard the Gospel in their own first language. John Wycliffe translated from the Latin Vulgate into Middle English, but William Tyndale became the first to draw directly from Hebrew and Greek. The printing press spread Scripture widely. Tyndale’s work shaped later English Bibles, including the Authorised Version, and gave us phrases still used today. It also helped Bible readers recognise God’s promise to restore the Jews to their ancient homeland. Ultimately, the Bible’s message is personal: Jesus Christ will return, raise the faithful, and give everlasting life, joy and peace on earth. So we ask: will we value what is now so freely available?
