**ASV** ([ASV](/codex/asv/))
> 1. These things spake Jesus; and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, <span class="rl-speech">Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that the son may glorify thee:</span> 2. <span class="rl-speech">even as thou gavest him authority over all flesh, that to all whom thou hast given him, he should give eternal life.</span> 3. <span class="rl-speech">And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, even Jesus Christ.</span> 4. <span class="rl-speech">I glorified thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which thou hast given me to do.</span> 5. <span class="rl-speech">And now, Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.</span> 6. <span class="rl-speech">I manifested thy name unto the men whom thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word.</span> 7. <span class="rl-speech">Now they know that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee:</span> 8. <span class="rl-speech">for the words which thou gavest me I have given unto them; and they received them, and knew of a truth that I came forth from thee, and they believed that thou didst send me.</span> 9. <span class="rl-speech">I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine:</span> 10. <span class="rl-speech">and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine: and I am glorified in them.</span> 11. <span class="rl-speech">And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are.</span> 12. <span class="rl-speech">While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou hast given me: and I guarded them, and not one of them perished, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.</span> 13. <span class="rl-speech">But now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.</span> 14. <span class="rl-speech">I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.</span> 15. <span class="rl-speech">I pray not that thou shouldest take them from the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil one.</span> 16. <span class="rl-speech">They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.</span> 17. <span class="rl-speech">Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth.</span> 18. <span class="rl-speech">As thou didst send me into the world, even so sent I them into the world.</span> 19. <span class="rl-speech">And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.</span> 20. <span class="rl-speech">Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that believe on me through their word;</span> 21. <span class="rl-speech">that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us: that the world may believe that thou didst send me.</span> 22. <span class="rl-speech">And the glory which thou hast given me I have given unto them; that they may be one, even as we are one;</span> 23. <span class="rl-speech">I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that thou didst send me, and lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me.</span> 24. <span class="rl-speech">Father, I desire that they also whom thou hast given me be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.</span> 25. <span class="rl-speech">O righteous Father, the world knew thee not, but I knew thee; and these knew that thou didst send me;</span> 26. <span class="rl-speech">and I made known unto them thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them, and I in them.</span> (John 17:1-26, ASV)

> 1. Jesus said these things, <span class="rl-speech">and lifting up his eyes to heaven,</span> he said, <span class="rl-speech">“Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;</span> 2. <span class="rl-speech">even as you gave him authority over all flesh, he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him.</span> 3. <span class="rl-speech">This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.</span> 4. <span class="rl-speech">I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.</span> 5. <span class="rl-speech">Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.</span> 6. <span class="rl-speech">I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word.</span> 7. <span class="rl-speech">Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,</span> 8. <span class="rl-speech">for the words which you have given me I have given to them, and they received them, and knew for sure that I came from you, and they have believed that you sent me.</span> 9. <span class="rl-speech">I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.</span> 10. <span class="rl-speech">All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.</span> 11. <span class="rl-speech">I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.</span> 12. <span class="rl-speech">While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. Those whom you have given me I have kept. None of them is lost, except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.</span> 13. <span class="rl-speech">But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.</span> 14. <span class="rl-speech">I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.</span> 15. <span class="rl-speech">I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.</span> 16. <span class="rl-speech">They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.</span> 17. <span class="rl-speech">Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.</span> 18. <span class="rl-speech">As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.</span> 19. <span class="rl-speech">For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.</span> 20. <span class="rl-speech">Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who believe in me through their word,</span> 21. <span class="rl-speech">that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.</span> 22. <span class="rl-speech">The glory which you have given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one;</span> 23. <span class="rl-speech">I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you loved me.</span> 24. <span class="rl-speech">Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.</span> 25. <span class="rl-speech">Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.</span> 26. <span class="rl-speech">I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.”</span> (John 17:1-26, WEB)

## 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.
