The Good News of John
The Gospel of John (Gospel means "Good News") is the fourth book in the New Testament of the Holy Bible, which contains 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 books in the New Testament. A study of known facts indicates that the Good News of John was written about 85 to 90 AD by the apostle John, a little more than 50 years after the death of Jesus. John was an eyewitness to the things he records in his book. John was known as "the beloved disciple." He referred to himself in his writings as "the disciple whom Jesus loved." John and his brother James were sons of Zebedee and Salome and were called "the sons of thunder" because of the bold way they sometimes responded to challenging situations. Peter, James, and John were "the inner circle" of the disciples—those closest to Jesus.
Each paragraph in The Good News of John is given a title in order to help find portions of the text and to help in understanding the text. The Chapter numbers, verse numbers, and paragraph titles are not a part of the original writing. The words of Jesus are in red. Red letters were also not in the original. This NuEnglish version is converted from the New King James version © 1979 and is used by permission of Thomas Nelson Inc., Publishers.
If you have a friend or relative who reads so poorly that he or she almost never tries to read anything (one definition of a "functionally illiterate" person) and if this friend or relative wants or needs to read the Good News of John—or any other traditionally spelled English written material—please teach them to read NuEnglish (or enlist someone to teach them) and give them a copy of this. You should be able to teach them to read NuEnglish with only a week or two of instruction, using page 10, "Learn to Read Now" of the website http://LearnToReadNow.org (click here to go there if you are not now at that website) in the sidebar on the left. You can also teach functional illiterates how to use a scanner used with a computer and a text recognition program (such as OmniPage) to correct scanning errors. They can then feed anything they want to read into the free Respeller program accessed by clicking on "Respeller" at the top left of the http://nuenglish.org wesite. All they have to do is to copy and paste the material they scanned and corrected—up to 25 pages at a time—into the left-hand box and click the "convert to NuEnglish" button.

15 But thā krīd out, "U-wā witt Him, u-wā witt Him! Krūsifī Him!" Pīlut sed tu them, "Shal Ī krūsifī yur King?" Thu chēf prēsts ansurd, "Wē hav nō king but Sēzur!"
16 Sō then hē del*ivurd Him tu them tu bē krūsifīd. And thā took Jēzus and led Him u-wā.

20 Then menē uv thu Jūz red this tītul, fōr thu plās hwer Jēzus wuz krūsifīd wuz nir thu sitē; and it wuz ritun in Hēbrū, Grēk [Greek], and Latin.

Aftur thēz ttingz Jēzus shōd Him-self ug*en tu thu dis*īpulz at thu Sē uv Tīb*irēus, and in this wā Hē shōd Him-self:
2 Sīmun Pētur, Tomus kauld Didimus, Natt*anyul uv Kānu in Galilē, thu sunz uv Zebedē [Zebedee], and 2 uthurz uv Hiz dis*īpulz wur tug*ethur.
3 Sīmun Pētur sed tu them, "Ī am gōing fishing." Thā sed tu him, "Wē or gōing witt yū aul-sō." Thā went out and i-mēdēutlē got in-tu thu bōt, and that nīt thā kaut nu-tting.
4 But hwen thu mōrning had nou kum, Jēzus stood on thu shōr; yet thu dis*īpulz did not nō that it wuz Jēzus.
5 Then Jēzus sed tu them, "Boiz, hav yū enē fūd?" Thā ansurd Him, "Nō."
6 And Hē sed tu them, "Kast the net on thu rīt sīd uv thu bōt, and yū wil fīnd sum." Sō thā kast, and nou thā wur not ābul tu drau it in bi-kuz uv thu multitūd uv fish.
7 Ther-fōr that dis*īpul hūm Jēzus luvd sed tu Pētur, "It iz thu Lōrd!" Nou hwen Sīmun Pētur hurd that it wuz thu Lōrd, hē poot on hiz outur gormunt (fōr hē wuz wering ōnlē an undur-gormunt), and plunjd in-tu thu sē.
8 And thē uthur dis*īpulz kām in thu litul bōt (fōr thā wur not for frum land, but u-bout 2 100 kyūbits), draging the net witt fish.
9 Then, az sūn az thā had kum tu land, thā sau u fīr uv kōlz ther, and fish lād on it, and bred.
10 Jēzus sed tu them, "Bring sum uv thu fish hwich yū hav just kaut."
11 Sīmun Pētur went up and dragd the net tu land, fool uv lorj fish, 1 100 and 50-3; and aul-thō ther wur sō menē, the net wuz not brōkun.
12 Jēzus sed tu them, "Kum and ēt brekfust." And nun uv thu dis*īpulz dard ask Him, "Hū or Yū?"—nōing that it wuz thu Lōrd.
13 Jēzus then kām and took thu bred and gāv it tu them, and līkwīz thu fish.
14 This iz nou thu 3rd tīm Jēzus shōd Him-self tu Hiz dis*īpulz aftur Hē wuz rāzd frum thu ded.
Jēzus Re-stōrz Pētur
15 Sō hwen thā had ētun brekfust, Jēzus sed tu Sīmun Pētur, "Sīmun, sun uv Jōnu, dū yū luv Mē mōr than thēz?" Hē sed tu Him, "Yes, Lōrd; Yū nō that Ī luv Yū." Hē sed tu him, "Fēd Mī lamz."
16 Hē sed tu him ug*en u 2nd tīm, "Sīmun, sun uv Jōnu, dū yū luv Mē?" Hē sed tu Him, "Yes, Lōrd; Yū nō that Ī luv Yū." Hē sed tu him, "Tend Mī shēp."
17 Hē sed tu him thu 3rd tīm, "Sīmun, sun uv Jōnu, dū yū luv Mē?" Pētur wuz grēvd bi-kuz Hē sed tu him thu 3rd tīm, "Dū yū luv Mē?" And hē sed tu Him, "Lōrd, yū nū aul ttingz; Yū nō that Ī luv yū." Jēzus sed tu him, "Fēd Mī shēp.
18 "Mōst u-shurudlē, Ī sā tu yū, hwen yū wur yunggur, yū gurdud yur-self and waukt hwer yū wisht; but hwen yū or ōld, yū wil strech out yur handz, and un-uthur wil gurd yū and karē yū hwer yū dū not wish."
19 This Hē spōk, signifīing bī hwut dett hē wood glōrifī God. And hwen Hē had spōkun this, Hē sed tu him, "Folō Mē."
Thu Bi-luvd Dis*īpul and Hiz Book
20 Then Pētur, turning u-round, sau thu dis*īpul hūm Jēzus luvd folōing, hū aul-sō had lēnd on Hiz chest at thu supur, and had sed, "Lōrd, hū iz thu 1 hū betr*āz Yū?"
21 Pētur, sēing him, sed tu Jēzus, "Lōrd, and hwut wil this man dū?"
22 Jēzus sed tu him, "If Ī wil that hē rem*ān til Ī kum, hwut iz that tu yū? Yū folō Mē."
23 Then this sāing went out um*ung thu brethrun that this dis*īpul wood not dī. Yet Jēzus did not sā tu him that hē wood not dī, but, "If Ī wil that hē rem*ān til Ī kum, hwut iz that tu yū?"

spirichūul lauz that guvurn yur rul*āshunship witt God.
Lau 1. God luvz yū and aufurz u wundurful plan fōr yur līf.
God'z Luv: "God sō luvd thu wurld that Hē gāv Hiz
ōnlē big*otun Sun, that hūevur bul*ēz in Him shood not perish but hav
ēt*urnul līf" (Jon 3:16)
God'z Plan: [Krīst spēking] "Ī kām that thā mīt hav
līf, and mīt hav it m*ōr ub*unduntlē" [that it mīt b*ē fool and
mēningfool](Jon 10:10)
Hwī iz it that mōst pēpul or not exp*irunsing that ub*undunt līf?
Lau 2. Man-kīnd iz sin-fool and sepurātud frum God. Ther-fōr wē kan not nō and exp*irēuns
God'z luv and plan fōr our līf.
Man-kind iz Sin-fool: "Aul hav sind and faul shōrt uv thu glōrē uv God"
(Rōmunz [Romans] 3:23).
Man-kīnd wuz krē*ātud tu hav felōship witt God; but, bi-kuz uv our ōn stuburn self-wil, wē
chūz tu gō our ōn in-dep*endunt wā and felōship witt God wuz brōkun. This self-wil, karukturīzd
bī an atitūd uv ēthur aktiv reb*elyun ōr pasiv in-difruns, iz an eviduns uv
hwut thu Bībul kaulz sin.
Man-kīnd iz Sepurātud: "Thu wājuz uv [pāmunt fōr] sin iz dett" [spirichūul sepur*āshun
frum God] (Rōmunz 6:23).
God iz hōlē and man-kind iz sin-fool. U grāt gulf sepurāts us frum God. Man-kīnd iz
kunt*inyūullē trīing tu rēch God and thē ub*undunt līf ttrū our ōn efurts, such az living u good
līf, fil*osufē, ōr rel*ijun—but man-kīnd in-evitublē fālz.
Thu 3rd lau expl*ānz thē ōnlē wā tu brij this gulf:
Lau 3. Jēzus Krīst iz God'z ōnlē prōv*izhun fōr man-kīnd'z sin. Ttrū Him wē kan nō and
exp*irēuns God'z luv and planz fōr our līvz.
Hē Dīd in Our Plās: "God demunstrāts Hiz ōn luv taurd us, in that hwīl wē
wur yet sinurz, Krīst dīd fōr us" (Rōmunz 5:8).
Hē Rōz Frum thu Ded: "Krīst dīd fōr our sinz. . . Hē wuz barēd. . . Hē rōz ug*en thu
3rd dā, uk*ōrding tu thu Skripchurz. . . Hē u-pird tu Pētur, then tu thu 12. Aftur that Hē u-
pird tu mōr than 5 100. . . ." (Ī Kōr*inttēunz [Corinthians] 15:3-6).
Hē Iz thē Ōnlē Wā tu God: "Jēzus sed tu him, 'Ī am thu wā, thu trūtt, and thu līf. Nō
1 kumz tu thu Fothur but ttrū Mē' " (Jon 14:6).
God haz brijd thu gulf that sepurāts us frum Him bī sending Hiz Sun, Jēzus Krīst, tu dī on
thu kraus in our plās tu pā thu penultē fōr our sinz. Our Hōlē God kuns*idurz sin tu bē sō
hōrubul that Hē req*īrz u hōlē, sin-les sakrifīs tu satisfī Hiz hōlēnus. Man-kīnd ōd u det wē
kood not pā. Jēzus pād u det Hē did not ō fōr our det that wē kood not pā.
It iz not en*uf just tu nō thēz 3 lauz. . . .
Lau 4. Wē must in-div*ijūullē res*ēv Jēzus Krīst az Sāvyur and Lōrd; then wē kan nō and
exp*irēuns God'z luv and plan fōr our līvz.
Wē Must Res*ēv Krīst: "Az menē az res*ēvd Him, tu them Hē gāv thu rīt tu
bi-kum Childrun uv God, ēvun tu thōz hū bel*ēv in Hiz nām" (Jon 1:12).
Wē Res*ēv Krīst Ttrū Fātt: "Bī Grās yū hav ben sāvd ttrū fātt; and that not uv yur-
selvz, it iz thu gift uv God; not az u rez*ult uv wurks that nō 1 shood bōst" (Ef*ēzhunz
[Ephesians] 2:8,9).
Hwen Wē Res*ēv Krīst, Wē Exp*irēuns u Nū Burtt: (Rēd Jon 3:1-8 ug*en.)
Wē Res*ēv Krīst Ttrū Pursunul Invit*āshun: [Krīst spēking] "Bi-hōld, Ī stand at thu
dōr and nok; if enē 1 hirz Mī vois and ōpunz thu dōr, Ī wil kum in tu him" (Revel*āshun
[Revelation] 3:20).
Res*ēving Krīst inv*olvz turning tu God and frum self (wē must
adm*it that wē or sinurz and ask God tu fōrg*iv us) and trusting Krīst tu kum in-tu our līvz tu
fōrg*iv our sinz and tu māk us hwut Hē wonts us tu bē. Just tu ugr*ē
intel*ekchūullē that Jēzus Krīst iz thu Sun uv God and that Hē dīd on thu kraus
fōr our sinz iz not en*uf. Nōr iz it en*uf tu hav an em*ōshunul exp*irēuns. Wē
res*ēv Jēzus Krīst bī fātt, az an akt uv thu wil—bī māking u
furm des*izhun tu dū sō.
Thu folōing expl*ānz hou yū kan res*ēv Krīst:
Yū Kan Res*ēv Krīst Rīt Nou bī Fātt Ttrū Prar (Prar iz tauking witt
God).
God nōz yur hort and iz not sō kuns*urnd witt yur wurdz az Hē iz witt thē atitūd uv yur hort.
Thu folōing iz u sugj*estud prar:
Dir Lōrd Jēzus, Ī bel*ēv that yū dīd on thu kraus fōr mī sinz and that Yū u-rōz frum thu grāv. Ī nou ask Yū tu fōrg*iv mī sinz and tu sāv mī sōl. Tāk kuntr*ōl uv mī līf and māk mē thu kīnd uv pursun yū wont mē tu bē.
Dōz this prar expr*es thu dez*īr uv yur hort? If it duz, yū or inv*ītud tu prā this prar rīt nou, and Krīst wil kum in-tu yur līf, az Hē promist. Jēzus wuz not u-shāmd tu dī on thu kraus fōr us. Rōmunz 10:11 telz us, "Hū-evur bel*ēvz on [Jēzus] shal not bē u-shāmd." Jēzus sed, "Fōr hū-evur iz u-shāmd uv Mē and Mī wurdz in this ud*ultrus and sin-fool jenur*āshun, uv him thu Sun uv Man aul-sō wil bē u-shāmd hwen Hē kumz in thu glōrē uv Hiz Fothur witt thu hōlē ānjulz." (Mork 8:38) and "Ther-fōr hū-evur kunf*esuz Mē bi-fōr men, him Ī wil aul-sō kunf*es bi-fōr mī Fothur hū iz in hevun. But hū-evur den*īz Mē bi-fōr men, him Ī wil aul-sō den*ī bi-fōr Mī Fothur hū iz in hevun." (Mattyū 10:32-33)
1 wā wē kan kunf*es our bel*ēf in Jēzus iz tu bē baptīzd, hwich wē dū bi-fōr our frendz tu shō that wē or nou port uv God'z familē—wē or not baptīzd tu bi-kum Krischunz but bi-kuz wē or Krischunz and wont tu ōb*ā Jēzus and folō thē egz*ampul uv Jēzus bēing baptīzd.
If yū hav prād that prar asking Jēzus tu fōrg*iv yur sinz and hav sur*endurd yur līf tu Hiz lēding, God nōz if yū wur sins*ir. If sō, yū hav res*ēvd Krīst and or nou u Chīld uv God—yū hav ben ud*optud in-tu God'z familē! If wē wur witt yū wē kood giv yū u hug and sā, "Wel-kum, bruthur ōr sistur, tu God'z familē!
Az u nū Chīld uv God, yū nēd tu grō and much*ur spirichūullē in thu sām wā that nū-bōrn bābēz must grō fiziklē. God'z plan fōr our grōtt az u Krischun iz fōr us tu (1) rēd thu Bībul, (2) prā (tauk tu God and onustlē lisun tu enē-thing Hē mā bē urjing us tu dū—Hē wil not urj us tu dū sum-tting kontrarē tu hwut Hē telz us in thu Bībul), (3) felōship witt uthur Krischunz in church and Bībul studē. (It iz verē imp*ōrtunt fōr Krischunz tu fīnd u church hwer aul uv thu Bībul iz resp*ektud az thu wurd uv God and hwer thu Bībul iz dilijuntlē taut tu its memburz, bi-kuz in thu sām wā that u kōl in thu fīr-plās that iz sepurātud frum thē uthur kōlz wil burn out and grō kōld, nū Krischunz nēd thu help and en-kurujmunt uv felō Krischunz in thar Bībul studēz. That iz hwī wē or kum*andud tu not fōrs*āk church ut*enduns in Hēbrūz [Hebrews] 10:24-25, "And let us kuns*idur 1 un-uthur sō az tu stur up luv and good wurks, not fōrs*āking thē us*embling uv our-selvz tug*ethur, az iz thu manur uv sum, but egz*ōrting 1 un-uthur, and sō much thu mōr az yū sē thu Dā upr*ōching."), and (4) shar yur fātt witt uthurz. Wē or līk u storving pursun hū haz found u hyūj stōr uv frē fūd teling our storving frendz hwer tu fīnd thu fūd.
