Simple English

I have written these things. They are a smaller part of what he taught the people. I wrote them so they may be brought back to these people from the Gentiles. This is what Jesus said would happen.

Paraphrase

What I’ve written here is just a smaller part of his teaching. I wrote it so it could be brought back to this people through the Gentiles, just as Jesus said would happen.
