The History of Bible Translations. The Living Tree!
From a single Word breathed in Genesis to 195 branches spanning every tongue and tribe, this Living Tree traces how Jesus..., the Word made flesh, the Light no darkness could ever extinguish, refused to stay locked in one language, but poured Himself out so that every nation could hear God speak in the voice of their own mother.___________________________________________________
At its heart glows the empty, open Book, not bound by crown or creed, where every line of gold we trace, from Polycarp who knew John, to P52 the size of a credit card that survived the sands of Egypt, to Tyndale who died whispering "Lord, open the King of England's eyes" is a testimony that heaven bled to get this Book into your hands.______________________________________________________
Scroll from Torah's fire at Sinai to a Bible app in your pocket today, and you don't just see history; you see Jesus keeping His promise: that His words would never pass away, and that every people, from Wycliffe's England to your neighbor in Hiawatha, would one day hold the story of His cross and resurrection in their own language and.... live. __________________________________________
John 1-17
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
