| 14:22 | And the servaut sayd: lorde it is done as thou comaundedst and yet ther is roume. |
| 14:23 | And the lorde sayd to the servaunt: Go out into ye hye wayes and hedges and compell the to come in that my housse maye be filled. |
| 14:24 | For I saye vnto you that none of those men which were bidde shall tast of my supper. |
| 14:25 | Ther went agreate copany with him and he turned and sayde vnto them: |
| 14:26 | If a man come to me and hate not his father and mother and wyfe and chyldren and brethren and sisters more over and his awne lyfe he cannot be my disciple. |
| 14:27 | And whosoever beare not his crosse and come after me cannot be my disciple. |
| 14:28 | Which of you disposed to bilde a toure sytteth not doune before and counteth ye cost whether he have sufficient to performe it? |

William Tyndale Bible 1534
William Tyndale was the first man to ever print the New Testament in the English language. Tyndale also went on to be the first to translate much of the Old Testament from the original Hebrew into English, but he was executed in 1536 for the "crime" of printing the scriptures in English before he could personally complete the printing of an entire Bible. His friends Myles Coverdale, and John [Thomas Matthew] Rogers, managed to evade arrest and publish entire Bibles in the English language for the first time, and within one year of Tyndale's death. These Bibles were primarily the work of William Tyndale.
