"I leave with you peace, I give you my peace." (John 14:27-29) AeP Tyndale21 Version

"I leave with you peace, I give you my peace. Not like the world gives, but as I give to you. Do not let your hearts grieve, nor be afraid. You have heard how I said to you, I go away, and come again to you. If you loved me, you would truly rejoice, because I said, I go to the Father. Because he Father is greater than I. And now I have showed you before it comes, so that when it happens, you might believe."

John 14:27-29 in the Abbott ePublishing Tyndale21 Version of the Gospels

"For every one that does evil hates the light" Jn. 3:17-21 in the AeP Tyndale21 Vers.

"For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He who believes in him will not be condemned. But he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the condemnation: That light has come into the world, and the men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, in case his deeds would be corrected. But he who does truth comes to the light, so his deeds might be known, how they are worked in God."

John 3:17-22 in the Abbott ePublishing Tyndale21 Version of the Gospels

"No man can serve two masters..." Matt. 6:24 (AeP T21 version)

"No man can serve two masters, because either he will hate the one, and love the other, or else he will cling to the one, and hate the other. You cannot serve God and riches." 

Matthew 6:24 (AeP Tyndale21 Version)

"These things I write to you, so you do not sin." 1 John 2:1-6 (AeP Tyndale21 Version

"My little children, these things I write to you, so you do not sin. If any man sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, who is righteous, And it is he who obtains grace for our sins, and not only for our sins, but also for the sins of all the world. And by this we are sure that we know him: if we keep his commandments. He who says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him. Whoever keeps his word, in him is the love of God perfected in deed. And by that, we know that we are in him. He who said he lives in him ought to walk just as he walked."
- 1 John 2:1-2:6 in Abbott ePublishing's Tyndale21 Version (Preview of unpublished material)

Matthew 6:14-18 (AeP T21 Version) "Because if you do not forgive the sins of others..."

"Because if you will forgive the sins of others, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, But if you do not forgive the sins of others, your Father will no longer forgive your sins. Further, when you fast, do not be sad as the hypocrites are, because they disfigure their faces, so they may be seen by others to be fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face; So that you do not appear to be fasting, except to your Father who is hidden. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you openly."

Matthew 6:14-18 in the AeP Tyndale21 Version of the Gospels.

Matt. 5:31-32 in the AeP Tyndale21 Version of the Gospels

"It is said: Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce. But I say: Whoever divorces his wife, unless it is because of fornication, causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries she who is divorced commits adultery."

3 John 1:11 in the AeP Tyndale21 Version

"Dearly loved ones, do not imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is from God, but he who does evil has not seen God."

An Introduction to Abbott ePublishing’s Tyndale21 Version of the Gospels

The Tyndale21 Version of the New Testament Gospels, produced exclusively by and for Abbott ePublishing, is the first stage of a proposed full New Testament revision of the William Tyndale New Testament translation of 1526 (and later revisions.)

This is not a brand new “translation,” per se, but rather an update of the 16th Century text that Tyndale produced. And it was a remarkable and important text in the history of translations. It was the first New Testament printed in English, it laid the foundations and gave much of the familiar wording to the King James Version of 1611, and was the first English Bible to be translated directly from the Greek language.

All the English Bibles up until that time had been translations from the Latin Vulgate, but Tyndale's New Testament was taken from the compilation of all Greek manuscripts known at that time.

The scholars who created the King James Version of the Bible in 1611 relied heavily on Tyndale's translation. Some estimate that nearly 83 percent of the King James Version New Testament contains Tyndale’s wording.

His renderings are unique and sometimes more starkly beautiful than many, many that have come after it.

Luke 4:28 - 4:32 (Abbott ePublishing / Tyndale21 Version)

"And as many as were in the synagogue, when they heard him, were furious. And they stood up, and threw him out of the city, and led him to the top of the hill on which their city had been built, so they could push him over it. But he walked right through the middle of them and went away. And he went into Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the Sabbath days. And they were astonished at his teachings, because preaching was powerful."

Luke 1:1-4 in the Abbott ePublishing Tyndale21 Version of the NT Gospels

"Since many have taken a hand in compiling a treatise about those things which are surely known among us, Even as they declared them to us, who saw them for themselves from the beginning, and were ministers of the word, I determined also as soon as I had searched out diligently all things from the beginning, that I then would write to you, good Theophilus, So that you might know the certainty of those things of which you have been instructed."

The Beatitudes in the Abbott ePublishing Tyndale21 Version of the Gospels

When he saw the people, he went up onto a hill. And when he was seated, his disciples came to him.

And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,

Blessed are the poor in spirit, because theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are those who mourn, because they will be comforted.

Blessed are the meek, because they will inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, because they will be filled.

Blessed are the merciful, because they will obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart, because they will see God.

Blessed are the maintainers of peace, because they will be called the children of God.

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, because theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.

Blessed are you, when men insult you, and pursue you, and say all kinds of evil things against you falsely, for my sake.

Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great, and this is the way they persecuted the prophets before your time.

(Matthew 5:1-12 in the Abbott ePublishing Tyndale21 Version of the New Testament Gospels. Available exclusively at Abbott ePublishing.)

Matthew 19:3-11 from the Abbott ePublishing Tyndale21 Version

The Pharisees also came to him, tempting him, and saying to him, "Is it legal for a man to divorce his wife for all kinds of reasons?" He answered, "Have you not read how he who made them in the beginning made them man and woman?" And said, "For this reason a man will leave father and mother, and will join to his wife, and the two will be one flesh. So now they are not two, but one flesh. Let no man, therefore, put asunder that which God has coupled together."

They said to him, "Why did Moses then command to give a certificate of divorce, and to divorce her?" He said to them, "Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives. But from the beginning, it was not so. So, I say to you, Whoever divorces his wife (unless it is because of adultery) and then marries another, breaks wedlock. And whoever marries she who is divorced does also commit adultery." Then his disciples say to him, "If this is the case between a man and his wife, it is not good to marry." He said to them, "All men cannot receive this saying, except those to whom it is given."

Matt. 7:7 to Matt. 7:12 in the Abbott ePublishing Tyndale21 Version of the Gospels

"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you: For whoever asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks it will be opened. Is there any man among you who, if his son asks him for bread, would offer him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he gives him a snake?

So if those who are evil know how to give your children good gifts, how much more will your Father, who is in heaven, give good things to those who ask him? Therefore, whatever you wish others would do to you, do to them. This is the Law and the Prophets."

Luke 18:15-17 in the Abbott ePublishing Tyndale21 Version of the Gospels

"And they brought to him also infants, so he could touch them. When his disciples saw it, they yelled at them. But Jesus called them to him, and said, 'Allow the little children to come to me, and do not forbid them. Because of such is the kingdom of God. Truly I say to you, Whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child, he will not enter into it.'" Lk 18:15-17

Abbott ePublishing Tyndale21 Version of the Gospels Published

Abbott ePublishing announces the publication of the Abbott ePublishing Tyndale21 Version of the New Testament Gospels, an updated, modern English version of the first printed English Gospels translated by William Tyndale in 1526.

Also known as the Abbott ePublishing Version, this is the first stage of a proposed full revision of Tyndale's New Testament translation.

The electronic book is being sold for $2.99 on the company’s website,www.abbottepub.com/tyndale21gospels.html in Adobe Portable Document format (.pdf.) The eBook contains the New Testament Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

General editor and Abbott ePublishing principal Stephen Abbott says the new version is not a "translation," but rather an update of the 16^thCentury text that Tyndale produced.

"It was a remarkable and important text in the history of translations,” said Abbott. “It was the first New Testament printed in English, it laid the foundations and gave much of the familiar wording to the King James Version of 1611, and was the first English Bible to be translated directly from the Greek language.”

All the English Bibles up until that time had been translations from the Latin Vulgate, but Tyndale's New Testament was taken from the compilation of all Greek manuscripts known at that time.

The scholars who created the King James Version of the Bible in 1611 relied heavily on Tyndale's translation. Some estimate that nearly 83 percent of the King James Version New Testament contains Tyndale’s wording.

“His renderings are unique and sometimes more starkly beautiful than many, many that have come after, as will be readily seen in this translation,” said Abbott ePublishing

Tyndale’s early 16^th Century language is updated in this edition for 21^st Century ears.

"The thought, ‘What if William Tyndale’s 1526 version was the only one Christians had used for the last 400 years, and it now needed to be updated into more modern English?’ was constantly considered,” said Abbott. “It was, in fact, the theoretical basis for this revision. Words and phrases that have clearly changed meaning were updated to 21^st Century English.

The Abbott ePublishing Tyndale21 Version is not a word-for-word update of Tyndale’s translation, and discretion was used when called for, he said.

"This is neither a ‘thought-for-thought’ nor ‘word-for-word’ rendering of the Gospels from ancient Greek texts,” he said. “It is instead an adaptation of an earlier English translation. Phrases are not deliberately put into over-casual speech. The majesty, dignity and grace of the English of Tyndale’s era remain.”

"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For whoever asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks it will be opened. Is there any man among you who, if his son asks him for bread, would offer him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he gives him a snake?" Matt. 7:7-10

"And he looked around at them angrily, grieved at the blindness of their hearts. And he said to the man: Hold out your hand. And he did. And his hand was restored just as healthy as the other one." Mark 3:5

"They worship me in vain, teaching doctrines that are nothing but the precepts of men. Because you lay aside the commands of God and instead observe the traditions of men - like baptizing pitchers and cups, and many other kinds of things you do." Mark 7:7-8

"Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together and running over, will men put into your lap. For the same measurement with which you are measuring, that same will be used to measure you." Luke 6:38

"And he said to them, Give, then, to Caesar the things which belong to Caesar, and to God the things that which pertain to God." Luke 20:25

"For God so loved the world, that he has given his only Son, that none who believes in him would die, but would have eternal life." John 3:16
