Dear Reinhard
Most interesting. It is such fascinating detail of the N. Germanic folk that 
is very hard to find in most places. Hope such is written somewhere. 
Regarding Jutish, how mutually intelligible is it with Danish? I would 
suppose it is akin to the Norwegian/Swedish level of seperation or perhaps 
more like Danish/Norwegian (you must select from several flavors of Norsk: 
Nynorsk, Bergen Norsk, Riksmal. Lansmal, hytegesprochet (???spelling 
approximate). Norwegians here for 4 or 5 decades that went back for a visit 
were very confused by the intentional, gradual changes in grammar and 
spelling Norway is/was doing to return to a conceived early version, by the 
way.

Also the two Jutish translations:

And compare this with the Danish translation:
