> 1. <span class="rl-speech">Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, believe also in me.</span> 2. <span class="rl-speech">In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.</span> 3. <span class="rl-speech">And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.</span> 4. <span class="rl-speech">And whither I go, ye know the way.</span> 5. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way? 6. Jesus saith unto him, <span class="rl-speech">I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.</span> 7. <span class="rl-speech">If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.</span> 8. Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9. Jesus saith unto him, <span class="rl-speech">Have I been so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how sayest thou, Show us the Father?</span> 10. <span class="rl-speech">Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I say unto you I speak not from myself: but the Father abiding in me doeth his works.</span> 11. <span class="rl-speech">Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.</span> 12. <span class="rl-speech">Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto the Father.</span> 13. <span class="rl-speech">And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.</span> 14. <span class="rl-speech">If ye shall ask anything in my name, that will I do.</span> 15. <span class="rl-speech">If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments.</span> 16. <span class="rl-speech">And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever,</span> 17. <span class="rl-speech">even the Spirit of truth: whom the world cannot receive; for it beholdeth him not, neither knoweth him: ye know him; for he abideth with you, and shall be in you.</span> 18. <span class="rl-speech">I will not leave you desolate: I come unto you.</span> 19. <span class="rl-speech">Yet a little while, and the world beholdeth me no more; but ye behold me: because I live, ye shall live also.</span> 20. <span class="rl-speech">In that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.</span> 21. <span class="rl-speech">He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself unto him.</span> 22. Judas (not Iscariot) saith unto him, Lord, what is come to pass that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23. Jesus answered and said unto him, <span class="rl-speech">If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.</span> 24. <span class="rl-speech">He that loveth me not keepeth not my words: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.</span> 25. <span class="rl-speech">These things have I spoken unto you, while yet abiding with you.</span> 26. <span class="rl-speech">But the Comforter, even the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said unto you.</span> 27. <span class="rl-speech">Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.</span> 28. <span class="rl-speech">Ye heard how I said to you, I go away, and I come unto you. If ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced, because I go unto the Father: for the Father is greater than I.</span> 29. <span class="rl-speech">And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe.</span> 30. <span class="rl-speech">I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world cometh: and he hath nothing in me;</span> 31. <span class="rl-speech">but that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.</span> (John 14:1-31, ASV)

Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6. Jesus said to him, <span class="rl-speech">“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.</span> 7. <span class="rl-speech">If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and have seen him.”</span> 8. Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.” 9. Jesus said to him, <span class="rl-speech">“Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, ‘Show us the Father?’</span> 10. <span class="rl-speech">Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father who lives in me does his works.</span> 11. <span class="rl-speech">Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works’ sake.</span> 12. <span class="rl-speech">Most certainly I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and he will do greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.</span> 13. <span class="rl-speech">Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.</span> 14. <span class="rl-speech">If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it.</span> 15. <span class="rl-speech">If you love me, keep my commandments.</span> 16. <span class="rl-speech">I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever,,</span> 17. <span class="rl-speech">the Spirit of truth, whom the world can’t receive; for it doesn’t see him, neither knows him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.</span> 18. <span class="rl-speech">I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.</span> 19. <span class="rl-speech">Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.</span> 20. <span class="rl-speech">In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.</span> 21. <span class="rl-speech">One who has my commandments, and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.”</span> 22. Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?” 23. Jesus answered him, <span class="rl-speech">“If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him.</span> 24. <span class="rl-speech">He who doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my words. The word which you hear isn’t mine, but the Father’s who sent me.</span> 25. <span class="rl-speech">I have said these things to you, while still living with you.</span> 26. <span class="rl-speech">But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.</span> 27. <span class="rl-speech">Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.</span> 28. <span class="rl-speech">You heard how I told you, ‘I go away, and I come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I said ‘I am going to my Father;’ for the Father is greater than I.</span> 29. <span class="rl-speech">Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens, you may believe.</span> 30. <span class="rl-speech">I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me.</span> 31. <span class="rl-speech">But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, even so I do. Arise, let us go from here.</span> (John 14:1-31, WEB)

_Scripture quotations taken from the **New American Standard Bible®** (NASB), Copyright © 1960, 1971, 1977, 1995 by **The Lockman Foundation**. Used by permission. All rights reserved. [www.lockman.org](https://www.lockman.org)_

## 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](/codex/asv/)** (American Standard Version, 1901). The basis of the modern critical-text English tradition.
- **[WEB](/codex/web/)** (World English Bible, contemporary). Public-domain revision in the ASV line, in current English.
- **[KJV](/codex/kjv/)** (King James Version, 1611). Reformation-era, Textus Receptus base.
- **[YLT](/codex/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.
