The New Testament in Modern Speech

edited by Richard Francis Weymouth and Ernest Hampden-Cook

This is a 20th-century translation of the New Testament, done by Richard Francis Weymouth, and edited by Ernest Hampden-Cook. The first edition was released in 1903. The third edition, the basis of this online book, was first published in 1909, and the source edition for these online texts was published in 1913. Later editions were also published, but may still be under copyright.

The electronic transcription was originally published to a computer bulletin board by Mark Fuller, and it was then adapted for Project Gutenberg by Martin Ward. Some corrections from the print original have been made, as noted in the preface section; and the numbering of the books and formatting of the verse numbering was probably introduced in the digital version. It is also possible that some editor's notes have been stripped out; I see general book introductions in the Prefaces and Instructions section, but no other notes included with the books in this online edition.

The links below are to the various Project Gutenberg etexts, in logical order. (At this writing, they did not release a unified etext, so you'll have to view or download this one in sections.)


This is a "meta-book", which stitches together separate files elsewhere on the Web as they appeared in a previously published book. It is subject to removal if someone produces an integrated edition. If that happens, The Online Books Page will point to the integrated version.
