Immediate context (±2 verses)

ASV (ASV)

"22. For the Son of man indeed goeth, as it hath been determined: but woe unto that man through whom he is betrayed! 23. And they began to question among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing."

"24. And there arose also a contention among them, which of them was accounted to be greatest. 25. And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them; and they that have authority over them are called Benefactors. 26. But ye shall not be so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. 27. For which is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am in the midst of you as he that serveth."

"28. But ye are they that have continued with me in my temptations; 29. and I appoint unto you a kingdom, even as my Father appointed unto me," (Luke 22:22-29, ASV)

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.
