| Summary | "Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Luke" by Richard Francis Weymouth is a modern English translation of the biblical Gospel of Luke, likely written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on presenting the life and teachings of Jesus Christ through the lens of Luke, a physician and historical researcher, emphasizing a clear understanding of Christian narratives and theological concepts for contemporary readers. The opening of this text introduces the purpose behind Weymouth's translation, as Luke aims to provide a comprehensive account of the life of Jesus, based on eyewitness testimonies. We encounter significant characters such as Zechariah and Elizabeth, who long for a child, and Mary, who receives a divine announcement of her role in bearing Jesus. The narrative showcases the dramatic announcements from the Angel Gabriel to both Zechariah and Mary, revealing the miraculous nature of their circumstances. From the start, the text sets a tone of reverence for the holy events and characters involved, while also making it accessible for modern readers by using contemporary language.
