1
00:00:12,956 --> 00:00:17,729
The year 1525.
It was just an official church.
2
00:00:17,927 --> 00:00:21,674
All religious writings
And the services were in Latin
3
00:00:21,709 --> 00:00:25,065
An incomprehensible language
by most people.
4
00:00:25,100 --> 00:00:29,461
Translation and distribution
The Bible in English was forbidden,
5
00:00:29,496 --> 00:00:32,327
a crime punishable by death.
6
00:00:32,342 --> 00:00:35,319
Lead by the idea that God
wants all people
7
00:00:35,354 --> 00:00:37,419
to understand His Word clearly,
8
00:00:37,454 --> 00:00:40,747
Some people risked their lives
And they worked tirelessly
9
00:00:40,782 --> 00:00:43,967
to translate the Bible
in a common language.
10
00:00:44,002 --> 00:00:48,015
He was such a man
William Tyndale
11
00:00:49,025 --> 00:00:52,493
- William! We were discovered!
- What? how?
12
00:00:52,528 --> 00:00:55,616
We arranged to go with
the next vessel! We have to go!
13
00:00:55,651 --> 00:00:59,667
Translations of the Old Testament!
We don't leave any notes behind!
14
00:00:59,702 --> 00:01:03,387
Hurry up!
Follow me!
15
00:01:04,823 --> 00:01:07,464
Hampton Court
London, England
16
00:01:07,499 --> 00:01:11,177
I want everyone caught
that he has these books
17
00:01:11,281 --> 00:01:15,550
to be arrested and tried
for heresy!
18
00:01:15,585 --> 00:01:19,687
Burn every book, every one
page, every piece of paper,
19
00:01:19,722 --> 00:01:22,048
and whatever remains!
20
00:01:22,083 --> 00:01:29,584
William Tyndale, you will
do with me, wherever you are!
21
00:01:53,708 --> 00:01:58,829
1522, Gloustershire, England
Three years later
22
00:01:59,929 --> 00:02:06,129
... speech... no... voice!
23
00:02:06,236 --> 00:02:14,060
And I admit... No!
I don't recognize it.
24
00:02:16,045 --> 00:02:26,046
And I... Yes!
My sheep... hear... My voice...
25
00:02:42,972 --> 00:02:44,064
Done!
26
00:02:44,173 --> 00:02:47,666
Good! Our guest
from whom he arrives immediately
27
00:02:47,701 --> 00:02:51,776
Lady Ann and I would
to join us.
28
00:02:51,881 --> 00:02:54,299
Sir John! Come in!
29
00:02:54,334 --> 00:02:58,698
I see that the guardian of our children
he works hard in his spare time.
30
00:02:58,733 --> 00:03:03,566
Tell me, what did you finish?
these hours? A gospel?
31
00:03:03,601 --> 00:03:09,353
That would be the case! But no, I'm done
one more phrase to translate.
32
00:03:09,388 --> 00:03:10,905
I understand!
33
00:03:10,940 --> 00:03:14,276
It's a verse.
It must be good.
34
00:03:16,139 --> 00:03:21,958
"My sheep hear my voice,
I know them, and they follow Me."
35
00:03:21,978 --> 00:03:26,038
Sure, Sir John, I must
to understand each other, just as we hear.
36
00:03:26,073 --> 00:03:30,628
- Of course, ordinary people...
- I know, "I must have Scripture!"
37
00:03:30,663 --> 00:03:36,572
Yes! In English, not just Latin.
I think you're going to tell me to be careful.
38
00:03:36,607 --> 00:03:42,461
I admire your courage, William,
and knowledge,
39
00:03:42,496 --> 00:03:45,865
that's why I asked him
to guide my children.
40
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:52,860
But don't forget that the teaching of Scripture
In common English, it's illegal.
41
00:03:53,443 --> 00:03:58,925
You are a scholar and as a study of
languages, translation is acceptable�,
42
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:05,352
but outside this room...
these are very uncertain times.
43
00:04:06,189 --> 00:04:09,848
And remember what happened
In Coventry...
44
00:04:11,227 --> 00:04:16,263
The rain came, and so did the waves
they got up, up, up, up...
45
00:04:17,233 --> 00:04:21,062
but the house of the unwise man
he remained standing!
46
00:04:22,271 --> 00:04:26,866
But the unwise man did not
as Jesus told him,
47
00:04:26,901 --> 00:04:32,882
and when the storm hit,
his house was demolished...
48
00:04:36,853 --> 00:04:38,905
Tell us another one, dad!
49
00:04:40,156 --> 00:04:42,987
Please! One more!
50
00:04:43,126 --> 00:04:45,648
Mom says it's time to sleep!
51
00:04:45,683 --> 00:04:49,498
Now let us gather and ask
God's blessing.
52
00:04:49,533 --> 00:04:51,889
Peter, head down! Well done!
53
00:04:52,201 --> 00:04:56,638
Our Father who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be Your Name,
54
00:04:56,673 --> 00:05:00,504
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
55
00:05:00,610 --> 00:05:02,407
as in heaven so...
56
00:05:10,053 --> 00:05:13,683
Your activities have been reported!
57
00:05:13,718 --> 00:05:16,595
By the authority of the holy church
58
00:05:16,630 --> 00:05:20,843
you are arrested for the offense
to recite and teach
59
00:05:20,878 --> 00:05:24,452
the prayer "Our Father" in English
60
00:05:24,487 --> 00:05:27,847
And for this crime
you will be punished with death...
61
00:05:28,938 --> 00:05:31,600
and burned at the stake.
62
00:05:31,707 --> 00:05:34,182
Dad! Leave him alone!
63
00:05:34,444 --> 00:05:37,321
Richard, no!
64
00:05:39,649 --> 00:05:42,519
No! John!
65
00:05:47,523 --> 00:05:51,999
That's what happens to anyone who gets caught
that spread the Scripture in English,
66
00:05:52,034 --> 00:05:53,569
judged by fire!
67
00:05:53,604 --> 00:05:57,051
And the light must be brought
One way or another, Sir John.
68
00:05:57,086 --> 00:06:00,316
The word of God is a
light on our path.
69
00:06:00,351 --> 00:06:04,469
Everyone must understand it,
not only the church.
70
00:06:05,007 --> 00:06:10,464
Come now, our guest
I'm waiting for dinner.
71
00:06:10,499 --> 00:06:15,723
I repeat, the church has the authority
to interpret the Holy Scriptures,
72
00:06:15,758 --> 00:06:17,409
not ordinary people!
73
00:06:17,444 --> 00:06:20,813
However, Christ saw fit
to teach ordinary people, height.
74
00:06:20,848 --> 00:06:24,987
- True, he is right!
- One thing that will bother him.
75
00:06:25,022 --> 00:06:31,668
Christ said, "The Comforter, the Spirit
The Holy One will teach you all things."
76
00:06:32,001 --> 00:06:36,498
And to do, through the church
and her interpretation!
77
00:06:37,773 --> 00:06:41,377
You are educated.
Expert in 5 languages?
78
00:06:41,412 --> 00:06:43,626
- 8!
- Exactly.
79
00:06:43,661 --> 00:06:47,207
Think about the preparation
what do you have in misunderstanding the Scripture.
80
00:06:47,242 --> 00:06:51,540
To translate it. The Holy Spirit helps
every person to understand it
81
00:06:51,575 --> 00:06:54,153
In a way that helps him
to follow God.
82
00:06:54,188 --> 00:06:57,307
-Andrew!
- Sir?
83
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,291
"I didn't leave you
neque derelinquam"
84
00:07:01,397 --> 00:07:04,625
Excuse me, sir?
85
00:07:04,660 --> 00:07:09,641
You know what Jesus said:
"I will always be with you;
86
00:07:09,676 --> 00:07:11,383
I will never leave you!"
87
00:07:11,418 --> 00:07:15,220
Really, sir?
It's wonderful!
88
00:07:15,255 --> 00:07:18,517
I will remember this
when I will miss my father.
89
00:07:18,552 --> 00:07:20,761
For God's sake!
It's a child!
90
00:07:20,796 --> 00:07:24,521
You know very well that Christ told him
parables in a way that is hard to understand
91
00:07:24,556 --> 00:07:28,203
not in a regular language!
92
00:07:28,238 --> 00:07:32,147
"Woe to you, teachers of the Law,
because you close the gates of Heaven
93
00:07:32,182 --> 00:07:37,968
according to you. You don't come in either
And don't leave the others either."
94
00:07:38,467 --> 00:07:42,105
- How clear is this word?
- William!
95
00:07:42,140 --> 00:07:45,518
Forgive me, Lady Ann, but it is important
to remember that the New Testament
96
00:07:45,553 --> 00:07:51,068
was written in Greek, "Koine"
the language of ordinary people...
97
00:07:51,103 --> 00:07:55,419
I don't see how we can stand up for ourselves
to forbid something that God
98
00:07:55,454 --> 00:07:58,074
he gave us all, on purpose.
99
00:07:58,788 --> 00:08:03,743
No matter who we judge
that he is stupid or not.
100
00:08:03,778 --> 00:08:09,294
Each of us is the object of affection
and the sacrifice of Christ!
101
00:08:09,329 --> 00:08:13,056
- I think our discussion has...
- The end!
102
00:08:13,703 --> 00:08:16,468
Maybe you think you are a clever scholar
103
00:08:16,503 --> 00:08:19,013
but you are young and inexperienced!
104
00:08:19,048 --> 00:08:22,285
If your behavior is impetuous
indicate what would happen
105
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,094
if the Word of God
it ends up in the wrong hands
106
00:08:25,129 --> 00:08:28,666
then we would be better off without
The word of God in the churches!
107
00:08:28,701 --> 00:08:32,585
Lord, the Bible declares,
108
00:08:32,620 --> 00:08:39,328
"The grass falls, the flower withers,
but the Word of the Lord remains forever."
109
00:08:39,362 --> 00:08:45,132
If God spared my life,
I will act like a ��ran
110
00:08:45,167 --> 00:08:47,652
to know the Scripture better
than an ordinary priest!
111
00:08:47,687 --> 00:08:48,200
William!
112
00:08:48,504 --> 00:08:54,072
If God believed in life!
Tread carefully, Master Tyndale.
113
00:08:54,107 --> 00:08:58,909
The fire is never too much
far from a heretic!
114
00:09:00,216 --> 00:09:05,375
Sir John, Lady Ann, your hospitality
as usual, very satisfying.
115
00:09:05,421 --> 00:09:09,043
The choice of guests, sorry,
it's another problem.
116
00:09:09,125 --> 00:09:10,940
A good evening.
117
00:09:13,963 --> 00:09:16,134
I'm afraid I ruined your dinner!
118
00:09:16,184 --> 00:09:20,146
You ruined his! me too
I enjoyed every minute!
119
00:09:20,181 --> 00:09:25,424
But I agree with the Archdeacon,
William. You should be worried.
120
00:09:25,441 --> 00:09:28,270
Should I? You have to!
121
00:09:28,344 --> 00:09:30,217
There must be a way to
to fulfill William's vision
122
00:09:30,252 --> 00:09:32,930
in the Church and to avoid danger.
123
00:09:32,965 --> 00:09:36,475
judging by tonight
I doubt it.
124
00:09:36,686 --> 00:09:40,349
I don't. I can propose a gentleman
known for his love
125
00:09:40,384 --> 00:09:43,572
for the Scriptures, and for
his position in the Church...
126
00:09:44,060 --> 00:09:47,793
Doctor Latimer is his name
And I think he is a good adviser.
127
00:09:48,064 --> 00:09:50,901
I would be happy to talk
with him about you.
128
00:09:52,835 --> 00:09:55,391
And see my dilemma, Dr. Latimer!
129
00:09:55,426 --> 00:09:58,674
In my heart, I know that God
wants people everywhere
130
00:09:58,709 --> 00:10:02,282
to hear clearly His Words,
and to understand them,
131
00:10:02,317 --> 00:10:06,656
but the church forbids me
the right to do so, however...
132
00:10:07,316 --> 00:10:09,479
Sir, there seems no way...
133
00:10:09,685 --> 00:10:13,913
- But there is a way
- The king!
134
00:10:13,948 --> 00:10:19,701
Probably, but there is one more step
which we can do.
135
00:10:19,895 --> 00:10:23,234
The Bishop of London!
136
00:10:23,269 --> 00:10:26,692
He has the authority to
delegate a translation of the Bible?
137
00:10:26,727 --> 00:10:30,794
Yes, and to sponsor you
while you do it!
138
00:10:30,829 --> 00:10:34,941
That, if he wants!
139
00:10:35,878 --> 00:10:39,273
Lady Ann has contacts in London
to make the necessary arrangements
140
00:10:39,308 --> 00:10:41,848
for your move.
- Moving?
141
00:10:42,385 --> 00:10:45,710
But to leave them to
Sir John and Lady Ann?
142
00:10:45,745 --> 00:10:47,994
I am responsible for teaching
to their children, I can't...
143
00:10:48,029 --> 00:10:52,597
Why not?
Is your vision not worth the price?
144
00:10:52,995 --> 00:10:57,975
Listen to me, William, if you will
to fulfill his vision,
145
00:10:58,010 --> 00:11:02,533
you would do well to prepare for
difficulties and greater than this!
146
00:11:02,638 --> 00:11:07,736
And everyone who left their homes
or brothers or lands
147
00:11:07,771 --> 00:11:13,495
Because of Me and the Word
you will get it right back...
148
00:11:13,530 --> 00:11:19,056
Then let it be London!
Maybe God opens a door!
149
00:11:27,596 --> 00:11:31,259
So...?
150
00:11:31,294 --> 00:11:33,665
Is that bad?
151
00:11:38,274 --> 00:11:43,432
William, it's not that bad, is it?
what do you say
152
00:11:43,646 --> 00:11:46,705
I stayed here for a whole month!
153
00:11:46,740 --> 00:11:50,741
Finally I got an appointment
with the Bishop and his answer is...
154
00:11:51,554 --> 00:11:53,153
No?
155
00:11:53,188 --> 00:11:55,772
Will, what's the point?
156
00:11:55,807 --> 00:11:57,889
I knocked on the door,
I begged and prayed,
157
00:11:57,924 --> 00:12:01,695
I did everything I could
to receive the consent of the Church,
158
00:12:01,730 --> 00:12:04,819
but every u�� seems c�
it's stuck in my nose.
159
00:12:04,854 --> 00:12:08,333
Then what are you going to do?
160
00:12:08,368 --> 00:12:12,916
If I cannot do his work
God without the consent of the Church,
161
00:12:12,951 --> 00:12:15,342
then I will do without!
162
00:12:21,650 --> 00:12:23,802
Sir Monmouth!
163
00:12:24,487 --> 00:12:29,094
William!
You scared me!
164
00:12:29,129 --> 00:12:32,577
For a moment I thought you were...
165
00:12:32,612 --> 00:12:36,583
Leave it!
I'm glad to see you.
166
00:12:36,618 --> 00:12:40,164
- How was the meeting with the Bishop?
- Not as I expected.
167
00:12:40,199 --> 00:12:43,024
That's why I came to see you.
168
00:12:43,059 --> 00:12:45,759
Do you think we can talk in private?
169
00:12:50,546 --> 00:12:55,368
So that's how the books are brought!
Luther's sermons in fruit bags!
170
00:12:55,403 --> 00:12:58,613
Fruits for the stomach
And food for the soul!
171
00:12:59,655 --> 00:13:04,281
- But they are not Bibles!
- No! Not in English, no!
172
00:13:04,326 --> 00:13:08,984
And they cannot be printed in England!
Not under Wolsey's threats.
173
00:13:09,019 --> 00:13:10,197
No, no!
174
00:13:10,232 --> 00:13:14,237
Then I will go for a while
far from Wosley I can.
175
00:13:15,971 --> 00:13:19,126
- Germany!
- Germany?
176
00:13:19,441 --> 00:13:22,238
You print and smuggle books.
177
00:13:22,273 --> 00:13:26,769
Why couldn't you enter
a bigger package?
178
00:13:26,916 --> 00:13:28,916
I mean...?
179
00:13:31,153 --> 00:13:35,255
Then you better take them
goodbye from England!
180
00:13:35,290 --> 00:13:38,393
He's going to be a wanted fugitive, William.
181
00:13:38,428 --> 00:13:42,794
The church will not allow this
And you know they will convince the king
182
00:13:42,829 --> 00:13:45,840
to help them catch you.
183
00:13:45,875 --> 00:13:49,018
It will be a high price to pay.
184
00:13:49,053 --> 00:13:52,985
No greater than the sacrifice
God for us.
185
00:13:53,020 --> 00:13:55,456
I'm ready!
186
00:14:00,849 --> 00:14:04,665
With very little money,
Tyndale worked tirelessly
187
00:14:04,700 --> 00:14:08,612
�i continued the translation work
of the 27 books of the New Testament
188
00:14:08,647 --> 00:14:11,169
which he had started earlier.
189
00:14:11,860 --> 00:14:16,252
Arrived in Germany, the New Testament
Tyndale's was printed in secret
190
00:14:16,265 --> 00:14:20,236
And a small pack of cards
was introduced in England.
191
00:14:24,106 --> 00:14:27,978
I want everyone caught
that he owns these books
192
00:14:28,013 --> 00:14:31,510
to be arrested and tried
for heresy!
193
00:14:31,547 --> 00:14:34,358
Copies of the New Testament
they spread rapidly,
194
00:14:34,393 --> 00:14:38,503
Bringing joy to the people
And alarming the leaders of the Church
195
00:14:38,887 --> 00:14:41,870
who reacted by writing
Against Tyndale and denouncing
196
00:14:41,905 --> 00:14:45,444
translation of the New Testament
as being full of errors.
197
00:14:45,661 --> 00:14:49,429
Instead, William stopped
from the translation to answer
198
00:14:49,464 --> 00:14:54,011
He wrote a book to his critics
called "Obedience of the Christian."
199
00:14:54,036 --> 00:14:58,418
Burn every book, every one
page, every piece of paper
200
00:14:58,453 --> 00:15:01,114
who remained!
201
00:15:01,149 --> 00:15:07,529
William Tyndale, you will
to do with me, wherever you are!
202
00:15:09,551 --> 00:15:13,648
"...and God called him from the bushes:
'Moses! Moses'
203
00:15:13,822 --> 00:15:16,622
And Moses said, 'Here I am.' "
204
00:15:16,659 --> 00:15:19,773
Nice print, Herr Peter!
We will have a good part soon
205
00:15:19,808 --> 00:15:21,612
from the finished Old Testament!
206
00:15:21,647 --> 00:15:25,724
And that page will be printed
tonight, but now
207
00:15:26,201 --> 00:15:30,613
it's better to hide it
And away from prying eyes.
208
00:15:30,648 --> 00:15:33,726
Maybe we have some liberties here
In Germany, but I'm still there
209
00:15:33,761 --> 00:15:37,636
strong people who oppose
these works. Dedrick!
210
00:15:40,349 --> 00:15:46,383
Now please go! You at
your writing and I at my printing.
211
00:15:46,418 --> 00:15:50,423
You have to finish what you started!
212
00:15:50,592 --> 00:15:53,907
God save you
And good day, Herr Quentel!
213
00:15:53,942 --> 00:15:56,607
- I apologize, sir.
- After you, please.
214
00:15:57,132 --> 00:16:01,353
- Hello, Herr Quentel!
- Hello, Herr Cochlaeus!
215
00:16:01,388 --> 00:16:04,201
I'll come to you right away...
216
00:16:17,052 --> 00:16:19,436
Excuse me, sir!
217
00:16:21,890 --> 00:16:26,773
- How is my work going?
- It's ready, Herr Cochlaeus!
218
00:16:27,162 --> 00:16:30,450
Wonderful! That's what it means
what are we celebrating, right?
219
00:16:30,466 --> 00:16:34,087
Are you joining us, Herr Quentel?
It's almost closing time.
220
00:16:34,136 --> 00:16:38,065
Not tonight, thank you!
I have something to do.
221
00:16:38,373 --> 00:16:41,180
But you will go and enjoy yourself!
222
00:16:41,215 --> 00:16:44,252
Then we will drink in honor
your work!
223
00:16:45,247 --> 00:16:46,680
... toast!
224
00:16:54,523 --> 00:16:59,080
The beer is good! cheer up the heart!
225
00:17:00,329 --> 00:17:02,742
Unties his tongue...
226
00:17:02,777 --> 00:17:07,597
Now, tell me about the book
mysterious that you print.
227
00:17:07,936 --> 00:17:13,313
Do you mean the English Bible?
228
00:17:31,660 --> 00:17:35,132
- William! We were discovered!
- What? how?
229
00:17:35,167 --> 00:17:38,550
Herr Cochlaeus, one of the customers
the printer, an influential man,
230
00:17:38,585 --> 00:17:41,676
with strong ties to the Church,
found out somehow!
231
00:17:41,937 --> 00:17:44,646
The soldiers of the magistrate are
at the printer now.
232
00:17:44,681 --> 00:17:46,993
William, it's a momentary problem
until I get here!
233
00:17:47,028 --> 00:17:49,767
I made arrangements for
the next vessel! We have to go!
234
00:17:49,802 --> 00:17:53,684
Translations of the Old Testament!
No note should be left!
235
00:18:04,593 --> 00:18:06,233
This way !
236
00:18:18,674 --> 00:18:22,382
A name, typographer!
Give me his name!
237
00:18:22,444 --> 00:18:25,281
I'm not sure, dear!
238
00:18:25,316 --> 00:18:31,260
You illegally print the Bible in English
for someone whose name you don't know?
239
00:18:37,192 --> 00:18:41,263
Peter Quentel!
You lost his business...
240
00:18:41,298 --> 00:18:45,504
You want to lose his life
And burn like a heretic?
241
00:18:45,934 --> 00:18:50,761
Give me a name!
242
00:18:58,780 --> 00:19:02,027
- Quick!
- and thank you!
243
00:19:06,355 --> 00:19:09,803
His name is William Tyndale.
244
00:19:10,826 --> 00:19:13,860
Find Tyndale!
Find that heretic!
245
00:19:15,130 --> 00:19:18,657
Find William Tyndale!
246
00:19:24,806 --> 00:19:26,460
What's next?
247
00:19:26,495 --> 00:19:29,874
To a safe harbor my friend
And we finish our work
248
00:19:29,909 --> 00:19:32,498
that God has us
put it forward, whatever it is.
249
00:19:32,533 --> 00:19:35,112
Now, we rest!
250
00:19:35,147 --> 00:19:37,801
It arrived today.
251
00:19:52,101 --> 00:19:55,883
They are gone! All manuscripts
Old Testament...
252
00:19:55,918 --> 00:19:58,668
I lost all the translations!
253
00:19:58,703 --> 00:20:02,092
But we are still alive!
The Lord will support us!
254
00:20:02,377 --> 00:20:07,848
The Lord will support us!
255
00:20:16,825 --> 00:20:20,805
"Obedience of the Christian"
a forbidden book!
256
00:20:21,029 --> 00:20:24,517
This is heresy and very good
it can cost you your life!
257
00:20:24,552 --> 00:20:26,831
How about this?
258
00:20:26,902 --> 00:20:32,378
- I'm to blame, dear.
- You, Lady Ann?
259
00:20:37,646 --> 00:20:40,966
and what do you have to do with
such a book, my dear?
260
00:20:41,001 --> 00:20:43,670
I heard a lot about her,
my lord...
261
00:20:43,705 --> 00:20:47,337
I did what I could
to get a copy.
262
00:20:47,372 --> 00:20:51,019
My girl, who read to me
held it to her,
263
00:20:51,326 --> 00:20:56,255
And in the spirit of daring
her knowledge took from her,
264
00:20:56,398 --> 00:20:59,375
only to be caught with her!
265
00:20:59,568 --> 00:21:04,822
- So you are to blame.
- Indeed, my Lord.
266
00:21:04,906 --> 00:21:10,308
- I found her reasoning remarkable.
- For example?
267
00:21:10,645 --> 00:21:17,149
"God does not keep kings servile to the Church
because they are chosen by God."
268
00:21:17,486 --> 00:21:20,614
He is quite clever!
269
00:21:20,722 --> 00:21:23,939
Bishops are like a thorn in the flesh
ours and we can use a man
270
00:21:23,974 --> 00:21:29,943
who is not afraid to speak
open, this William Tyndale!
271
00:21:30,465 --> 00:21:34,234
Then your height should
to pardon him,
272
00:21:34,269 --> 00:21:38,073
because his writings are forbidden,
I think he lives like a fugitive,
273
00:21:38,340 --> 00:21:41,349
somewhere on the continent, I think.
274
00:21:41,384 --> 00:21:46,067
Then we will give him free passage
And a way to be useful to his king.
275
00:21:46,102 --> 00:21:48,068
Bring him to me!
276
00:21:48,103 --> 00:21:53,266
Come, let's go for a walk.
277
00:21:59,594 --> 00:22:05,444
- you finally found him.
- Yes, I found Master Tyndale.
278
00:22:05,479 --> 00:22:08,703
Or to say, he found me.
279
00:22:09,905 --> 00:22:11,984
In Belgium, Your Majesty.
280
00:22:12,007 --> 00:22:15,647
I was taken to him outside
the city of Antwerp, where he was waiting for me.
281
00:22:15,877 --> 00:22:20,319
I presented him with your free offer�
passage and to be part of the yard.
282
00:22:20,354 --> 00:22:25,953
- He hesitated, dear.
- Hesitating?
283
00:22:25,988 --> 00:22:28,222
I thought he was afraid
for his life.
284
00:22:28,257 --> 00:22:31,340
I assured him of my intentions
yours, my lord,
285
00:22:31,375 --> 00:22:34,533
and death
To Cardinal Thomas Wolsey...
286
00:22:34,568 --> 00:22:40,385
Anyway, I was mistaken in thinking
that he was concerned about his safety.
287
00:22:40,420 --> 00:22:43,608
He talked about persecution
continuation of the reformers.
288
00:22:44,390 --> 00:22:50,052
He gave me a letter
for your Majesty.
289
00:22:54,382 --> 00:22:59,207
"If it pleases the king
to allow that only a small part
290
00:22:59,242 --> 00:23:02,637
from Scripture to be distributed
between people and
291
00:23:02,672 --> 00:23:05,506
whatever the translation,
292
00:23:05,541 --> 00:23:10,970
I will immediately make a promise s�
to write no more and to return to England,
293
00:23:11,333 --> 00:23:16,883
offering my body to suffer anything
punishment is necessary, even death."
294
00:23:18,039 --> 00:23:22,503
He refused our generous request
295
00:23:22,538 --> 00:23:25,115
And he gives us a condition
to return?
296
00:23:25,150 --> 00:23:30,112
A condition? This agitator?
To me?
297
00:23:30,118 --> 00:23:35,647
If they allow it to be distributed
Scripture then returns!
298
00:23:35,682 --> 00:23:40,880
It is clear, Your Majesty, so be it
you obey Tyndale
299
00:23:40,915 --> 00:23:45,058
and print the "Scriptures,"
or, as he threatened,
300
00:23:45,093 --> 00:23:48,881
will continue to cause disturbance
among the people with his writings.
301
00:23:48,916 --> 00:23:53,171
It threatened the Church even now
he seems to dare
302
00:23:53,206 --> 00:23:54,962
to threaten you!
303
00:23:54,997 --> 00:23:58,333
- My lord, I don't think so...
- dare to threaten me?
304
00:23:58,368 --> 00:24:01,868
- Your Majesty, no...
- Truly a threat!
305
00:24:01,903 --> 00:24:04,623
Find him and arrest him!
306
00:24:04,658 --> 00:24:07,679
Anyone caught having it
his writings
307
00:24:07,714 --> 00:24:11,241
will be hanged or burned,
without exception!
308
00:24:13,195 --> 00:24:17,298
While the persecution was settling in
In England, William continued to write,
309
00:24:17,333 --> 00:24:21,782
Encouraging sincere Christians
to stand upright for their faith.
310
00:24:21,817 --> 00:24:24,975
"Don't be afraid of those
what do they threaten you
311
00:24:25,010 --> 00:24:28,440
"but trust in God,
who keeps his promises.
312
00:24:28,944 --> 00:24:31,803
Your cause is the Gospel,
313
00:24:31,838 --> 00:24:35,355
A light that must unite
with the blood of our testimony,
314
00:24:35,390 --> 00:24:39,646
because the light of the Gospel
let it not go out."
315
00:24:39,688 --> 00:24:43,033
I will not allow these
writings to cause confusion
316
00:24:43,068 --> 00:24:45,354
and discontent among the people.
317
00:24:45,493 --> 00:24:47,557
This man must be stopped.
318
00:24:47,592 --> 00:24:50,219
Don't come back here
until you find it
319
00:24:50,254 --> 00:24:55,545
You put your hand on this wound
open�, William Tyndale.
320
00:24:57,706 --> 00:24:59,674
your height.
321
00:25:07,182 --> 00:25:10,702
The Poyntz family was good
he supports me as I translated.
322
00:25:10,737 --> 00:25:13,471
I am a heavenly hand
And I don't doubt it
323
00:25:13,506 --> 00:25:15,441
that you will be welcome
at their table.
324
00:25:19,527 --> 00:25:25,388
William! Just in time for
but! And a good one, he added.
325
00:25:25,423 --> 00:25:28,238
And I hope you don't mind that
I brought a new friend with me.
326
00:25:28,270 --> 00:25:32,822
- William, you must be careful.
- Don't worry, he's an honest man.
327
00:25:32,857 --> 00:25:35,709
Thomas Poyntz...
Henry Phillips!
328
00:25:35,777 --> 00:25:39,321
It's a real pleasure!
329
00:25:42,617 --> 00:25:46,362
... and see, Henry, how
the Apostle Paul clearly said
330
00:25:46,397 --> 00:25:48,613
of the primary church in the language
those days
331
00:25:48,648 --> 00:25:52,480
that's how we must have the Bible
in today's parlance,
332
00:25:52,515 --> 00:25:55,604
otherwise how can I go
follow the leader?
333
00:25:55,639 --> 00:25:59,387
- I learned a lot from you, William.
- and me from you.
334
00:25:59,422 --> 00:26:01,297
True!
335
00:26:01,332 --> 00:26:05,861
Anyway, it's time to go
I repay, somewhat humbly!
336
00:26:05,896 --> 00:26:09,176
Come! come with me
at the table, let's talk!
337
00:26:09,110 --> 00:26:14,377
- Two things I cannot refuse!
- Wonderful. After you!
338
00:26:17,819 --> 00:26:20,461
And he will add
what Peter says
339
00:26:20,496 --> 00:26:24,195
"Like some children, you want
the milk of the Word..."
340
00:26:24,230 --> 00:26:28,102
Holy Scriptures for children,
for the uneducated...
341
00:26:28,137 --> 00:26:30,474
- William Tyndale!
- What?
342
00:26:31,733 --> 00:26:35,164
Run, Henry!
Quick, Henry. This way !
343
00:26:35,603 --> 00:26:37,523
William!
344
00:26:43,311 --> 00:26:44,471
On where?
345
00:26:44,579 --> 00:26:47,480
William... William...
346
00:26:47,582 --> 00:26:49,914
William!
347
00:26:50,018 --> 00:26:53,838
William Tyndale! You are under arrest.
348
00:26:55,056 --> 00:26:59,686
Looks like I'll be eating alone.
349
00:27:02,030 --> 00:27:05,343
- Henry?
- Bye, William.
350
00:27:05,433 --> 00:27:10,166
Was it, shall we say, captivating?
351
00:27:12,807 --> 00:27:15,900
William Tyndale, you are under arrest.
352
00:27:15,935 --> 00:27:20,516
I was ordered to take you from
this place at Vivorde Castle.
353
00:27:22,117 --> 00:27:27,074
You are accused of heresy,
I teach what is against the Church.
354
00:27:27,122 --> 00:27:31,364
I didn't write and I didn't study
nothing that is contrary to the Bible.
355
00:27:31,399 --> 00:27:34,296
You broke the laws of the Church.
356
00:27:34,331 --> 00:27:37,707
Only when the Church transgressed
God's laws!
357
00:27:39,501 --> 00:27:44,485
So you put yourself on top
Church authorities?
358
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,862
By the grace of God,
I am a servant of the Church,
359
00:27:46,897 --> 00:27:49,289
how long the Church
He serves God.
360
00:27:49,324 --> 00:27:51,407
According to your interpretation.
361
00:27:51,442 --> 00:27:54,840
After clear understanding
of the Holy Scriptures.
362
00:27:57,118 --> 00:28:00,822
Your writings are entered
in the hands of ordinary people,
363
00:28:01,189 --> 00:28:05,193
The Holy Word of God
in a regular language.
364
00:28:05,228 --> 00:28:09,615
People are looking for Scripture
because their soul is hungry!
365
00:28:11,666 --> 00:28:15,547
Retract! Confess your guilt!
366
00:28:16,871 --> 00:28:21,909
Give up on your writings,
maybe he will be spared.
367
00:28:22,410 --> 00:28:27,389
I can only do what I can
conscience dictates.
368
00:28:27,424 --> 00:28:29,593
Admit the guilt!
369
00:28:29,628 --> 00:28:33,335
I can only do what I can
conscience dictates!
370
00:28:33,370 --> 00:28:39,579
Then you will burn!
371
00:28:40,161 --> 00:28:45,048
Then I will burn!
372
00:28:48,870 --> 00:28:53,607
William Tyndale, you are accused
of heresy,
373
00:28:53,642 --> 00:29:01,103
that you translated and distributed
The scriptures in English,
374
00:29:02,550 --> 00:29:09,218
thing that is directly against
of the state and the Church.
375
00:29:09,253 --> 00:29:13,519
You denied authority
the only true Church
376
00:29:13,628 --> 00:29:19,627
And you are condemned to be
executed by burning at the stake !
377
00:29:20,602 --> 00:29:25,220
May God have mercy
of your soul!
378
00:29:58,506 --> 00:30:03,576
God, pity Your sheep!
379
00:30:06,247 --> 00:30:11,941
God, open your eyes
to the king of England!
380
00:30:12,787 --> 00:30:17,488
Open the eyes of the king of England!
381
00:30:44,619 --> 00:30:47,784
William's death seemed
like a terrible defeat.
382
00:30:47,819 --> 00:30:51,852
But, in two years, his last
prayer was heard.
383
00:30:52,060 --> 00:30:54,994
King Henry commanded
like every church in England
384
00:30:55,029 --> 00:30:58,163
To make a copy of the English Bible
which can be read by the public.
385
00:30:58,266 --> 00:31:00,764
- Every church, dad?
- Every church!
386
00:31:00,768 --> 00:31:05,860
We can read the Word of God
now because of the sacrifice
387
00:31:05,895 --> 00:31:08,486
which William did
And others for us.
388
00:31:08,521 --> 00:31:11,480
- Others like...
- Grandpa?
389
00:31:11,515 --> 00:31:15,006
Yes, grandfather and other people
brave as they
390
00:31:15,041 --> 00:31:17,212
who loved the Word of God!
391
00:31:17,247 --> 00:31:21,883
Grandpa told me...
"Whoever hears the words of the Lord
392
00:31:21,918 --> 00:31:27,254
And putting them into practice is like...
- Like the one who built his house on the rock!
393
00:31:27,289 --> 00:31:31,225
"The rain came,
the eyes have grown,
394
00:31:31,260 --> 00:31:34,509
"And the wind blew too
he knocked in that house.
395
00:31:34,544 --> 00:31:39,446
"However, he remained standing,
because it had its foundation on the rock.
396
00:31:39,481 --> 00:31:43,962
"Whoever hears My words
And he doesn't fulfill them
397
00:31:43,997 --> 00:31:47,833
it is like the unwise man who
He built his house on sand.
398
00:31:47,868 --> 00:31:50,103
The rain came..."
399
00:31:50,138 --> 00:31:54,883
"If God spared my life,
I will make a wounded man know
400
00:31:54,918 --> 00:31:58,310
more� Scripture�
than an ordinary priest."
401
00:32:01,356 --> 00:32:05,109
Tyndale's work became
the foundation of later editions
402
00:32:05,144 --> 00:32:10,387
of the Bible and influenced
English Bible translations to date.
403
00:32:10,422 --> 00:32:14,844
Translations of the Bible in many
languages of the world is one of the
404
00:32:14,879 --> 00:32:17,818
more successful stories
of the Christian Church.
405
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:21,555
Today, over 6 billion
people have a part of the Bible
406
00:32:21,590 --> 00:32:25,927
in their native language. That leaves
380 million people
407
00:32:25,962 --> 00:32:30,149
worldwide without
a translation of the Bible.
408
00:32:32,437 --> 00:32:36,353
Translation and adaptation
