Immediate context (±2 verses)

ASV (ASV)

"23. and when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. 24. And certain of them that were with us went to the tomb, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not."

"25. And he said unto them, O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! 26. Behooved it not the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory? 27. And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself."

"28. And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they were going: and he made as though he would go further. 29. And they constrained him, saying, Abide with us; for it is toward evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in to abide with them." (Luke 24:23-29, ASV)

Quoted in

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.
