According to a note at the beginning: This Judæan and AUthorized Version may be described as "The New Testament Without Antisemitism." Ammendments herein of the 1611 translation can all be established from the sources. They have been adopted with one aim: to eliminate, as far as the truth will allow, those unfortunate renderings which tend to sow enmity between Christians and Jews. The authentic New Testament teaching involves love (not murderous hate). Thus, this Judæan version claims to be a truly Christian translation. In all other respects, the text remains as in 1611.
The sample verses (John 19:1-7) were selected to show the types of changes introduced by this version. The changes made in this version are footnoted in the original. Here they are underlined so they can be easily identified.

John 19:1-7
Judæan Version
1Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
2And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
3And said, Hail, King of the Judæans! and they smote him with their hands.
4Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
5Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
6When the ministers therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Away with him, away with him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and execute him: for I find no fault in him.
7The Judæans answered him, We have a Bible, and by our Bible he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
