Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, John is Richard Francis Weymouth’s modern translation of the Gospel of John, one of the four canonical Gospels in the New Testament. Weymouth’s goal in this work is to provide a clear and accessible version of the biblical text for contemporary readers while remaining faithful to the original Greek.The Gospel of John is distinct from the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) in its theological depth and focus on the divinity of Christ. Weymouth’s translation illuminates this focus, presenting Jesus as the eternal Word (Logos) made flesh. Through his modern speech approach, Weymouth enhances the clarity of key themes such as the nature of belief, the role of the Holy Spirit, and the relationship between Jesus and God the Father. The text emphasizes the intimate teachings of Jesus, including his "I am" statements, and the powerful narrative of his final days, crucifixion, and resurrection.
