The first collection of the four Gospels in Motu, the indigenous language of Port Moresby and the surrounding region, translated by Scottish missionary James Chalmers and revised by his fellow Congregationalist W. G. Lawes, the first permanent European resident of Papua and an expert in Motu.
Though the title mentions only St. Matthew's Gospel, the others follow with consecutive pagination.
Chalmers and Lawes were both of the London Missionary Society. Matthew and Mark revised from the 1882 and 1883 editions by Lawes.
