This is our part of our Language Harmony project on the Birth of Jesus Christ and the Angels Appearing to the Shepherds in Luke 2. We have read from the Latin 370 AD, Gothic 370 AD, Anglo/ West Saxon (Old English) 11th Century, Wycliffe (Middle English) 1380, Tyndale 1526, Bishop's1568, Geneva 1599, and Authorized King James Version of 1611. 
 
The English language as we know it today, and the Modern English Bibles trace their roots and origins to these languages and Bibles as these scribes and translators consulted not only the Greek Septugaint and Hebrew when available, but also versions of the Bible that came before them. 
 
Many of these great men, Torchlighters for Christ, and Heroes of our Faith, endured persecution, exile, ostracism, and death to protect the Word of God and to translate it into the language of the people. Tyndale translated alongside Martin Luther at Worms and was burned at the stake. Only 2 copies of his Bible survived being burned, but thankfully, Miles Coverdale and Matthew protected his Bible by including his translation of the New Testament into their versions. 
 
The Word of God is powerful, authentic, and has always been protected. Please enjoy this video as you travel back in time to see not only the languages unfold, evolve, and change, but the power of the Word of God stay consistent and intact throughout thousands of years of changes of humanity. We have changed as people, but the Word of God, and God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost remain unchanged. 
 
Please pray for and support, as you are able, those who continue to be persecuted for Jesus Christ even today, those who continue to translate Bibles into languages that have not yet been translated, and those who try to provide copies of the Word of God to Christians who live in places where it is illegal to own a Bible. 
 
In addition to thanking the men who protected the faith that we have highlighted in this video, we also would like to thank all the men and women, the Voices unheard, that have translated, transcribed, digitized, and uploaded these manuscripts so that they can still be read today. God Bless You, and "On Earth, Peace, Good Will Towards Men!"

Luke 2:6-14 (Language Harmony) Latin, Gothic, Anglo Saxon, Wycliffe, Tyndale, Bishops, Geneva, KJV

The Gothic Bible or Wulfila Bible is the Christian Bible as translated by Wulfila into the Gothic language spoken by the Eastern Germanic, or Gothic Tribes. During the third century, the Goths lived on the northeast border of the Roman Empire, in what is now Ukraine, Bulgaria and Romania. During the fourth century, the Goths were converted to Christianity, largely through the efforts of Bishop Ulfilas, who invented the Gothic alphabet and translated the Bible into the Gothic language in Nicopolis ad Istrum in today's northern Bulgaria. Portions of this translation survive, affording the main surviving text written in the Gothic language. 
 
During the fifth century, the Goths overran the Western Roman Empire, including Spain, southern France, and North Africa. Gothic Christianity reigned in these areas for several centuries, before the re-establishment of the Catholic Church, and the advent of Islam. 
 
The Wulfila Bible, although fragmentary, is the only extensive document in an ancient Eastern Germanic language. Since the other texts are of very limited extent, except maybe Skeireins, its significance for the study of these languages can hardly be overstated.

Gothic Bible: Armour (Armor) of God-Ephesians 6:10-18, Wulfila, Gothic Language, 4th Century

This letter to the Laodiceans that Paul mentions in Colossians 4:16 "And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea" was included in John Wycliffe's Bible after Apocalyps (Revelation) although it is not in the modern versions of the Bible. 
 
It has been considered a Lost Book of the Bible for Centuries... But my question is... if it has been considered lost, when did it get "lost" if John Wycliffe included it in his translation of the FIRST English Bible in the 1380s??

Laodicensis: Paul&#39;s Lost Letter to the Laodiceans mentioned in Colossians 4:16

This is my recitation of John Wycliffe's Bible Genesis 1:1-13 in Middle English starting with "In the Beginning." My wife is more fluent in Middle English so she will be posting the rest of the Chapters from Wycliffe's Bible as well as the rest of Genesis 1. 
 
Most of my uploads on our site will be concentrated on Gothic and Anglo Saxon because I have lived in England, Germany, Japan, and Norway which has given me a greater understanding and desire to study and recite older manuscripts of the Bible, so please refer to my wife's videos for a better pronunciation of the Middle English accent, as I hope my future recordings of the Gothic and Anglo Saxon languages help you as well.
