[email protected]. 101 MOST ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BIBLE 83. What are the facts regarding the Matthew’s Bible? A. The Matthew’s Bible was compiled by John Rogers in 1537. Rogers desired a version which would contain all the work of his friend Tyndale, translated from the original. It is known as the first revision of the Tyndale Bible. The Matthew’s Bible is the Tyndale Bible complete. It forms the real basis of all later revisions, the Great Bible, the Geneva Bible, the Bishops’ Bible, and the King James’ Version. All these came from Tyndale, through the Matthew’s Bible. Eleven years before, Tyndale’s New Testament was publicly burned; now it is published under another name with the King’s consent.
