Summary "Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, John" by Richard Francis Weymouth is a modern English translation of the Gospel of John, originally published in the early 20th century. This work offers a fresh perspective on biblical texts, aiming to make them more accessible to contemporary readers. The Gospel revolves around the life, teachings, and works of Jesus Christ, with a particular emphasis on his divine nature and message. The opening of this translation introduces fundamental theological concepts, such as the pre-existence of the Word (Jesus) and his role in creation, asserting that "the Word was God." It presents John the Baptist, who acts as a witness to Jesus, proclaiming him as the anticipated Messiah. Early narratives include the calling of the first disciples, highlighting their immediate recognition of Jesus's significance, and discuss key events such as the wedding at Cana, where Jesus performs his first miracle by turning water into wine. This section sets the stage for exploring themes of faith, divine authority, and the personal connection between Jesus and his followers, inviting readers to engage with the profound spiritual insights offered in the text.
