Tyndale - The Connection with the KJV and Luther.
The Bible Book: The KJV Reborn for Those Who Love the Word of God

The Martyr - William Tyndale - is worth knowing.

It was not long after this, that in disputing with a divine reputed to be quite learned, Tyndale utterly confounded him with certain texts of Scripture; upon which the irritated papist exclaimed, — “It were better for us to be without God’s laws, than without the Pope’s!” This was a little too much for Tyndale, who boldly replied, “I defy the Pope, and all his laws; and if God spare my life, ere many years, I will cause a boy that driveth the plow to know more of the Scripture than you do!” A noble boast; and nobly redeemed at the cost of his life![1]
