William Tyndale quotes - page 3

William Tyndale was an English clergyman, scholar, and pioneering translator of the Bible into English. His translation made the scriptures accessible to a wider English-speaking audience and greatly influenced later English Bibles. He was executed for his efforts, but his work continues to shape English Christianity and language. Here are 52 of his quotes:

Understand therefore, that one thing in the scripture representeth divers things. A serpent figureth Christ in one place, and the devil in another; and a lion doth likewise. Christ by leaven signifieth God's word in one place; and in another signifieth thereby the traditions of the Pharisees, which soured and altered God's word for their advantage.
