The Holy Bible in Modern English: John, 1John, Matthew, Mark.

About this film

LibriVox recording of The Holy Bible in Modern English, NT: John, 1John, Matthew, Mark, translated by Ferrar Fenton. Read by Mark Penfold. The ordering novelty in the New Testament is that it places the Gospel of John and the First Epistle of John at the beginning before the Gospel of Matthew, thus placing the Acts of the Apostles immediately after the Gospel of Luke. Work on the translation began in 1853 by a London businessman called Ferrar Fenton (1832–1920). The complete Bible was first published in 1903, though parts were published as separate volumes during the preceding 11 years. The translation is noted for a rearranging of the books of the Bible into what the author believed was the correct chronological order. His translation of the New Testament is based on the Greek text of Westcott and Hort.
