William Tyndale is the father of the English bible. Then he prayed for the king with these words "Open the eyes of the king." Do you know which king he was praying for? William was praying for Henry VIII. William Tyndale prayed for Henry's for his eyes to be opened. For his eyes to open to the word of God. Before we get to that we will study of Williams childhood. William was born in England near the border of Wales. Then he went to school in Oxford, was ordained priest, and later transferred to Cambridge. Then William learned the Greek language and that means he can understand and translate the bible from Greek to English so everybody can read it.
Now he knows the Greek language and begin translating the bible. Because in the times of King Henry VIII the English bible is not available so now he will translate. God was preparing him even in his childhood. God really works in every Christians even with other people but the problem is persecution. The bishop of London thought that the bible should be taught in the Roman church and they thought that William made some errors while translating the bible. So they convinced the cardinal of England to issue a decree to arrest. You already know now that William is going to die because of persecution. Well your right! This is how he died and he died for God. I will tell how he was captured. He was captured by a friend. He died of being strangled and burned to death after a few days Henry ordered to publish and make every bible in each church chained (so the bible can't be stolen).
