Barclay Newman, a translator on the teams for both the Good News Bible and the Contemporary English Version, translated passages of the New Testament into English and published them in 2014, “in a publication brief enough to be non-threatening, yet long enough to be taken seriously, and interesting enough to appeal to believers and un-believers alike.” The following is the translation of Mark 1:14-15:
After John Dipper was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee,
proclaiming the Super Story about God:
“The Ultimate Kingdom soon will appear with power.
Turn to God and believe the Best News Ever!”
