  • Noongar: “‘The Law of Moses and the writings of the Prophets were working long ago and worked to the day of John the Baptist. After that day, the Good News of the Kingdom of God was told and many people force their way in.” (Source: Warda-Kwabba Luke-Ang)
  • Uma: “‘What is written in the Law of Musa and the letters of the prophets was definitely still used until the time of Yohanes the Baptizer. From that time, the Good News was spread that says God becomes King in the world. And many people strove wanting to become his people in that his kingdom.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “‘During the time when Yahiya who bathed the people had not yet come (the thing) that was proclaimed (was) about the law of Musa and the writings of the prophets. But since Yahiya came and until now (the thing) which is proclaimed is the good news about the ruling of God and the people really persevere/strive so that they will enter into the ruling of God.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “As for obedience to the Law of Moses and obedience to the writings of long-ago prophets, these things were preached only up to the time of John the Baptist. Starting at that time, the thing preached to all the people is the good news about the kingdom of God. And everybody is using force so that they might quickly enter into this kingdom.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)

But from when there was now Juan, what now is being taught is this Good News concerning the kingdom of God. And people are striving-persistently to become subjects of it.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
