ASV

2. She runneth therefore, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him. 3. Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb.

4. And they ran both together: and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb;

  1. and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths lying; yet entered he not in. 6. Simon Peter therefore also cometh, following him, and entered into the tomb; and he beholdeth the linen cloths lying, (John 20:2-6, ASV)
WEB

2. Therefore she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have laid him!” 3. Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went toward the tomb.

4. They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter, and came to the tomb first.

  1. Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying, yet he didn’t enter in. 6. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying, (John 20:2-6, WEB)
KJV

2. Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. 3. Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.

4. So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

  1. And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. 6. Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, (John 20:2-6, KJV)
YLT

2. she runneth, therefore, and cometh unto Simon Peter, and unto the other disciple whom Jesus was loving, and saith to them, 'They took away the Lord out of the tomb, and we have not known where they laid him.' 3. Peter, therefore, went forth, and the other disciple, and they were coming to the tomb,

4. and the two were running together, and the other disciple did run forward more quickly than Peter, and came first to the tomb,

  1. and having stooped down, seeth the linen clothes lying, yet, indeed, he entered not. 6. Simon Peter, therefore, cometh, following him, and he entered into the tomb, and beholdeth the linen clothes lying, (John 20:2-6, 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.
