ASV

50. for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he straightway spake with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid. 51. And he went up unto them into the boat; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves;

52. for they understood not concerning the loaves, but their heart was hardened. 53. And when they had crossed over, they came to the land unto Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.

  1. And when they were come out of the boat, straightway the people knew him, 55. and ran round about that whole region, and began to carry about on their beds those that were sick, where they heard he was. (Mark 6:50-55, ASV)

50. for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he immediately spoke with them, and said to them, “Cheer up! It is I! Don’t be afraid.” 51. He got into the boat with them; and the wind ceased, and they were very amazed among themselves, and marveled;

52. for they hadn’t understood about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened. 53. When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.

  1. When they had come out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him, 55. and ran around that whole region, and began to bring those who were sick, on their mats, to where they heard he was. (Mark 6:50-55, WEB)

52. For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened. 53. And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.

  1. And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him, 55. And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was. (Mark 6:50-55, KJV)

52. for they understood not concerning the loaves, for their heart hath been hard. 53. And having passed over, they came upon the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore,

  1. and they having come forth out of the boat, immediately having recognised him, 55. having run about through all that region round about, they began upon the couches to carry about those ill, where they were hearing that he is, (Mark 6:50-55, 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.
