The History of the Erasmus Paraphrase
After the production of the Erasmus Greek New Testament, Erasmus of Rotterdam, 1469-1536, ventured to continue his earnest desire for the common man to know the Word of God. He said, “If only the farmer would sing something from them at his plow, the weaver move his shuttle to their tune, the traveler lighten the boredom of his journey with Scriptural stories!”
His paraphrase of the Gospel of John was written in Latin and conveyed as a commentary of sorts to those who had an appetite and a thirst for the Word of God.
