ASV (ASV)

"19. From henceforth I tell you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. 20. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me."

"21. When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in the spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. 22. The disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. 23. There was at the table reclining in Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. 24. Simon Peter therefore beckoneth to him, and saith unto him, Tell us who it is of whom he speaketh. 25. He leaning back, as he was, on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? 26. Jesus therefore answereth, He it is, for whom I shall dip the sop, and give it him. So when he had dipped the sop, he taketh and giveth it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27. And after the sop, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore saith unto him, What thou doest, do quickly. 28. Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him. 29. For some thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus said unto him, Buy what things we have need of for the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor. 30. He then having received the sop went out straightway: and it was night."

"31. When therefore he was gone out, Jesus saith, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him; 32. and God shall glorify him in himself, and straightway shall he glorify him." (John 13:19-32, ASV)

"19. From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe that I am he. 20. Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me.”"

"21. When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.” 22. The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke. 23. One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus’ breast. 24. Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.” 25. He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus’ breast, asked him, “Lord, who is it?” 26. Jesus therefore answered, “It is he to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27. After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.” 28. Now no man at the table knew why he said this to him. 29. For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus said to him, “Buy what things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor. 30. Therefore having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night."

"31. When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. 32. If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately." (John 13:19-32, WEB)

Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. 23. Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. 24.

"31. Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. 32. If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him." (John 13:19-32, KJV)

YLT (YLT)

"19. 'From this time I tell you, before its coming to pass, that, when it may come to pass, ye may believe that I am [he]; 20. verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, doth receive me; and he who is receiving me, doth receive Him who sent me.'"

"21. These things having said, Jesus was troubled in the spirit, and did testify, and said, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you will deliver me up;' 22. the disciples were looking, therefore, one at another, doubting concerning whom he speaketh. 23. And there was one of his disciples reclining (at meat) in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving; 24. Simon Peter, then, doth beckon to this one, to inquire who he may be concerning whom he speaketh, 25. and that one having leant back on the breast of Jesus, respondeth to him, 'Sir, who is it?' 26. Jesus answereth, 'That one it is to whom I, having dipped the morsel, shall give it;' and having dipped the morsel, he giveth [it] to Judas of Simon, Iscariot. 27. And after the morsel, then the Adversary entered into that one, Jesus, therefore, saith to him, 'What thou dost, do quickly;' 28. and none of those reclining at meat knew for what intent he said this to him, 29. for certain were thinking, since Judas had the bag, that Jesus saith to him, 'Buy what we have need of for the feast;' or that he may give something to the poor; 30. having received, therefore, the morsel, that one immediately went forth, and it was night."

"31. When, therefore, he went forth, Jesus saith, 'Now was the Son of Man glorified, and God was glorified in him; 32. if God was glorified in him, God also will glorify him in Himself; yea, immediately He will glorify him." (John 13:19-32, YLT)

Why these four translations

ris3n chose ASV, WEB, KJV, and YLT for two reasons together. They are the most literal English translations available (formal-equivalence: word-for-word renderings that preserve the Hebrew and Greek grammar rather than smoothing it into modern dynamic-equivalence idiom). And they are in the public domain in the United States, which means fair-use quotation at any length requires no publisher license. Modern licensed translations (NASB95, ESV, NIV) restrict volume of quotation under their copyright terms, so they are not used at stub-level coverage here. NASB95 appears only on hand-curated rich passage hubs under Lockman Foundation's fair-use allowance.

The four:

ASV (American Standard Version, 1901). The basis of the modern critical-text English tradition.
WEB (World English Bible, contemporary). Public-domain revision in the ASV line, in current English.
KJV (King James Version, 1611). Reformation-era, Textus Receptus base.
YLT (Young's Literal Translation, Robert Young, 1862). Hyper-literal preservation of Hebrew and Greek grammar; useful for word-study work even where English reads stiff.
