[[Category:Bible]][[Category:Bible Versions]][[Category:Christianity]]''The Message'' is a modern translation (or more accurately, a paraphrase) of the Holy Bible created by Pastor Eugene Peterson. The purpose of the translation was to capture what Peterson calls the "vitality and directness that I sensed as I read and studied the New Testament in its original Greek." Seeking to translate the Bible in a way that would read to English speakers as it would have read to Greek speakers, he wrote much of it in an informal fashion.<ref>http://www.biblegateway.com/versions/index.php?action=getVersionInfo&vid=65</ref>

{{cquote|Later, when Peter came to Antioch, I had a face-to-face confrontation with him because he was clearly out of line. Here’s the situation. Earlier, before certain persons had come from James, Peter regularly ate with the non-Jews. But when that conservative group came from Jerusalem, he cautiously pulled back and put as much distance as he could manage between himself and his non-Jewish friends. That’s how fearful he was of the conservative Jewish clique that’s been pushing the old system of circumcision. Unfortunately, the rest of the Jews in the Antioch church joined in that hypocrisy so that even Barnabas was swept along in the charade.}}
    
For example, the famous line from Psalm 23 "The Lord is shepherd, there is nothing I shall want" is translated in ''The Message'' as "God, my shepherd! I don't need a thing."<ref>http://www.biblegateway.com/versions/index.php?action=getVersionInfo&vid=65</ref> Some passages have been changed substantially in order to appear more exciting, such as in James 4:7, where "Resist the devil and he will flee from you" becomes "Yell a loud "No" to the devil and watch him scamper."<ref>http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%204:7&version=MSG</ref>
