1. Screen Shot of Luke 3 in Khmer Bible online (the way Khmer reads now)
2. Khmer Bible (unedited, but without verse numbers; the way Khmer reads now)
3. My edited version with punctuation, spacing, deletion of extraneous prefix "Mister"
To give English readers of how it feels to read in Khmer (unedited) of Luke 3, English stripped of punctuation, stripped of capital letters (proper nouns) and spacing, with added prefix of "Mister" to parallel the Khmer text:
