When Tyndale was martyred, these works came to be in the possession of one of his associates, John Rogers. Tyndale translated additional Old Testament books including Joshua, Judges, First and Second Samuel, First and Second Kings and First and Second Chronicles, but they were not published and have not survived in their original forms. This was followed by his revised version of the Book of Genesis in 1534. His English version of the Book of Jonah was published the following year. Tyndale's translation of the Pentateuch was published at Antwerp by Merten de Keyser in 1530. After his death in 1536, Tyndale's works were revised and reprinted numerous times and are reflected in more modern versions of the Bible, including, perhaps most famously, the King James Version. Two revised versions were later published in 15, both personally revised by Tyndale. These can be found in the collections of St Paul's Cathedral, London, the British Library, and the Württembergische Landesbibliothek in Stuttgart. But before the work could be completed, Tyndale was betrayed to the authorities and forced to flee to Worms, where the first complete edition of his New Testament was published in 1526 of which there are only 3 extant copies left. A partial edition was put into print in 1525 in Cologne of which there is only one fragment left in the British Library. Thwarted in England, Tyndale moved to the continent. Tyndale made his purpose known to Bishop of London Cuthbert Tunstall but was refused permission to produce this " heretical" text. Tyndale began a translation into English using a Greek text compiled by Erasmus from several manuscripts older than the Latin Vulgate of Jerome, the only translation authorized by the Roman Catholic Church. The chain of events that led to the creation of Tyndale's New Testament possibly began in 1522, when Tyndale acquired a copy of the German New Testament.
