This is a version of the New Testament Scriptures with notes and comments in brackets, within the text, to help make the inspired message more understandable. It is intended primarily for its translator, his family members, and a few persons interested in Bible translations.
Geographical places are located, cultural circumstances are explained, monetary references are calculated, historical allusions are cited and some obscure concepts are briefly commented on, all within, but distinguished from, the actual text of the New Testament. The idea is to make the Scriptures understandable.
