Burned him after he was already dead. Yeah, well, Tyndale's line was that he wanted – I believe it was Tyndale. It was either Wycliffe or Tyndale. My friends who are specialists in this are going to get mad at me for this. But one of those two guys said that they wanted the plow boy to be able to read the Bible and know it as well as the priests.

And so that's that was their motivation is that they're like, you know, public education for literacy in these areas was largely because they just wanted people to read the Bible.

But that was a big motivation behind Luther was he's like, I'm going to translate this thing to German because part of his kind of kicking off of the what we call the Protestant Reformation was that he read the Bible in Greek. Because there was a guy named Desiderius Erasmus, who was a, they call them humanists, but it means something different than now.

Humanists were like scholars who were trying to figure out the entirety of human knowledge up until that point. Like Renaissance men kind of, right? So Desiderius Erasmus is like one of the last Renaissance men. But he was compiling, and he produced the first printed edition of the Greek New Testament.

And so he comes out with this printed edition of the Greek New Testament and Luther gets his hands on it. And so he's reading that and he notices that in Matthew's gospel, the word that's in the Latin is penitentium agate, due penance. In Greek is metanoite, which is repentance. And the church was using this as like, you need to do penance.

You need to do all of this stuff to show that you're sorry. And part of that was paying the church. And Luther reads this and he goes, hey, guys, This means something different. This means repentance. It means changing your mind. It doesn't mean like to actually do things.

And so part of his motivation is like the Latin isn't reflecting, at least at the point that Latin had developed in that day, like maybe. When Jerome translates the Latin Vulgate back in the fourth century, and it's called the Vulgate because Vulgata means like regular. Like you think of vulgar, right? It's just the regular people language.

It's just the regular people language.

Part of the reason was that in the fourth century, very few people were reading Greek. They were reading Latin. And so they're like, hey, Jerome, you need to produce a Bible in Latin because nobody can read the Bible anymore. Right. And so he produces the Latin Vulgate. And ironically, by the time you get to Luther, a thousand years later, no one can read Latin. And they're all using the Vulgate.
