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 Matthew 28:16-20:

After Jesus had been raised from death,
he instructed eleven of his leading followers
              to meet him on a mountain in Galilee.

Jesus appeared to them and said:

              I have been given absolute authority
                     in heaven and on earth.
              Now I am sending you to make followers
                     of people in nations everywhere.
              Baptize them in the name
              of the Father, the Son,
                     and the Holy Spirit, and teach them to obey everything I have taught you.
              Remember, I will always be with you, no matter what.
