Coverdale Bible 1535

 

   

15:1Then came vnto him the scribes and pharises from Ierusalem, sayenge:
15:2Why do thy disciples transgresse ye tradicions of the elders? for they wash not their hodes whan they eate bred.
15:3He answered & sayde vnto the: Why do ye transgresse the comaundemet of God, because of youre owne tradicios?
15:4For God comaunded, sayege: Honoure father & mother: & he yt curseth father & mother, shal dye the death.
15:5But ye saye: Euery man shal saye to father or mother: The thige yt I shulde helpe ye withal, is geue vnto God.
15:6By this is it come to passe, that no man honoureth his father or his mother eny more. And thus haue ye made the comaundement of God of none effecte, for youre owne tradicios.
15:7Ye ypocrites, full well hath Esaye prophecied of you, & sayde:
15:8This people draweth nye vnto me wt their mouth, & honoureth me wt their lippes, howbeit, their hert is farre fro me.
15:9But in vayne do they serue me, whyle they teach soch doctrynes as are nothinge but the commaundementes of men.
15:10And he called ye people to hi, & saide vnto the: Heare & vnderstode:
15:11That which goeth in to the mouth, defyleth not the ma: but yt which cometh out of the mouth, defyleth ye ma.
15:12Then came his disciples, & sayde vnto him: knowest thou yt the Pharises were offended, whan they herde this sayenge?
15:13He answered, and sayde: All plantes which my heauenly father hath not planted, shal be pluckte vp by ye rotes.
15:14Let the go, they are ye blynde leaders of ye blynde. Wha one blinde leadeth another, they fall both i ye diche.
15:15Then answered Peter & sayde vnto him: Declare vnto us this parable.
15:16And Iesus sayde vnto the: Are ye yet the without vnderstondinge?
15:17Perceaue ye not, yt what soeuer goeth in at ye mouth, descedeth downe in to ye bely, & is cast out into the draught?
15:18But the thinge that proceadeth out of the mouth, cometh fro ye hert, & that defyleth ye ma.
15:19For out of ye hert come euell thoughtes murthur, breakynge of wedlocke, whordome theft, false witnesse, blasphemy.
15:20These are ye thinges that defyle a man. But to eate wt vnwasshen hondes, defyleth not a man.
15:21And Iesus wente out from thence, & departed in to the coastes of Tyre of Sidon.
15:22And beholde, a woma of Canaan wete out of ye same coastes, & cried after him, sayege: O LORDE, thou sonne of Dauid, haue mercy vpon me. My doughter is sore vexed wt a deuell.
15:23And he answered her neuer a worde. The came his disciples vnto him, & besought him, sayege: Sede her awaye, for she crieth after us.
15:24But he answered, & saide: I am not sent, but vnto the lost shepe of the house of Israel.
15:25Notwithstondinge she came & fell downe before him, & sayde: LORDE, helpe me.
15:26He answered & sayde: It is not good, to take the childrens bred, & to cast it vnto dogges.
15:27It is trueth LORDE (sayde she) Neuertheles the whelpes eate of the crommes, that fall fro their lordes table.
15:28Then answered Iesus & sayde vnto her: O woma, greate is yi faith be it vnto the, eue as thou desyrest. And hir doughter was made hole at ye same houre.
15:29And Iesus departed thece, and came nye vnto the see of Galile, and wente vp in to a mountayne, and sat downe there,
15:30And there came vnto him moch people, hauinge with them, lame, blynde, dome, crepell, and other many, and cast them downe at Iesus fete. And he healed the,
15:31in so moch that the people wodred, to se the dome speake, the crepell whole, the halt to go, & the blynde to se. And they praysed the God of Israel.
15:32And Iesus called his disciples vnto him, & sayde: I haue copassion vpon the people, for they haue cotynued wt me now thre dayes, & haue nothinge to eate, & I wil not let the departe fastynge, lest they perishe in ye waye.
15:33And his disciples sayde vnto him: Whence shulde we get so moch bred in the wyldernes, that we might satissfie so moch people?
15:34And Iesus sayde vnto the: How many loaues haue ye? They sayde: seue, & a few litle fyshes.
15:35And he comaunded ye people to syt downe vpo the grounde,
15:36and toke ye seue loaues, & the fyshes, & gaue thankes & brake the, & gaue the to his disciples, & ye disciples gaue the vnto the people.
15:37And they all ate, & were suffised. And they toke vp of the broke meate yt was left, seuen basskettes full.
15:38And they yt ate, were foure thousande me, besyde wemen and children.
15:39And whan he had sent awaye the people, he wente in to a shippe, & came in to the parties of Magdala.
Coverdale Bible 1535

Coverdale Bible 1535

The Coverdale Bible, compiled by Myles Coverdale and published in 1535, was the first complete English translation of the Bible to contain both the Old and New Testament and translated from the original Hebrew and Greek. The later editions (folio and quarto) published in 1539 were the first complete Bibles printed in England. The 1539 folio edition carried the royal license and was, therefore, the first officially approved Bible translation in English.

Tyndale never had the satisfaction of completing his English Bible; but during his imprisonment, he may have learned that a complete translation, based largely upon his own, had actually been produced. The credit for this achievement, the first complete printed English Bible, is due to Miles Coverdale (1488-1569), afterward bishop of Exeter (1551-1553).

The details of its production are obscure. Coverdale met Tyndale in Hamburg, Germany in 1529, and is said to have assisted him in the translation of the Pentateuch. His own work was done under the patronage of Oliver Cromwell, who was anxious for the publication of an English Bible; and it was no doubt forwarded by the action of Convocation, which, under Archbishop Cranmer's leading, had petitioned in 1534 for the undertaking of such a work.

Coverdale's Bible was probably printed by Froschover in Zurich, Switzerland and was published at the end of 1535, with a dedication to Henry VIII. By this time, the conditions were more favorable to a Protestant Bible than they had been in 1525. Henry had finally broken with the Pope and had committed himself to the principle of an English Bible. Coverdale's work was accordingly tolerated by authority, and when the second edition of it appeared in 1537 (printed by an English printer, Nycolson of Southwark), it bore on its title-page the words, "Set forth with the King's most gracious license." In licensing Coverdale's translation, King Henry probably did not know how far he was sanctioning the work of Tyndale, which he had previously condemned.

In the New Testament, in particular, Tyndale's version is the basis of Coverdale's, and to a somewhat less extent this is also the case in the Pentateuch and Jonah; but Coverdale revised the work of his predecessor with the help of the Zurich German Bible of Zwingli and others (1524-1529), a Latin version by Pagninus, the Vulgate, and Luther. In his preface, he explicitly disclaims originality as a translator, and there is no sign that he made any noticeable use of the Greek and Hebrew; but he used the available Latin, German, and English versions with judgment. In the parts of the Old Testament which Tyndale had not published he appears to have translated mainly from the Zurich Bible. [Coverdale's Bible of 1535 was reprinted by Bagster, 1838.]

In one respect Coverdale's Bible was groundbreaking, namely, in the arrangement of the books of the. It is to Tyndale's example, no doubt, that the action of Coverdale is due. His Bible is divided into six parts -- (1) Pentateuch; (2) Joshua -- Esther; (3) Job -- "Solomon's Balettes" (i.e. Canticles); (4) Prophets; (5) "Apocrypha, the books and treatises which among the fathers of old are not reckoned to be of like authority with the other books of the Bible, neither are they found in the canon of the Hebrew"; (6) the New Testament. This represents the view generally taken by the Reformers, both in Germany and in England, and so far as concerns the English Bible, Coverdale's example was decisive.
