**ASV** ([ASV](/codex/asv/))
> 1. And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judaea beyond the Jordan; 2. and great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there. 3. And there came unto him Pharisees, trying him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? 4. And he answered and said, <span class="rl-speech">Have ye not read, that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,</span> 5. and said, <span class="rl-speech">For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?</span> 6. <span class="rl-speech">So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.</span> 7. <span class="rl-speech">They say unto him, Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorcement, and to put her away?</span> 8. He saith unto them, <span class="rl-speech">Moses for your hardness of heart suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it hath not been so.</span> 9. <span class="rl-speech">And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her when she is put away committeth adultery.</span> 10. <span class="rl-speech">The disciples say unto him, If the case of the man is so with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.</span> 11. But he said unto them, <span class="rl-speech">Not all men can receive this saying, but they to whom it is given.</span> 12. <span class="rl-speech">For there are eunuchs, that were so born from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.</span> 13. Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should lay his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. 14. But Jesus said, <span class="rl-speech">Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for to such belongeth the kingdom of heaven.</span> 15. <span class="rl-speech">And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.</span> 16. <span class="rl-speech">And behold, one came to him and said, Teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?</span> 17. And he said unto him, <span class="rl-speech">Why askest thou me concerning that which is good? One there is who is good: but if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments.</span> 18. He saith unto him, <span class="rl-speech">Which?</span> And Jesus said, <span class="rl-speech">Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,</span> 19. <span class="rl-speech">Honor thy father and mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.</span> 20. The young man saith unto him, All these things have I observed: what lack I yet? 21. Jesus said unto him, <span class="rl-speech">If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell that which thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.</span> 22. <span class="rl-speech">But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sorrowful; for he was one that had great possessions.</span> 23. And Jesus said unto his disciples, <span class="rl-speech">Verily I say unto you, It is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.</span> 24. <span class="rl-speech">And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.</span> 25. <span class="rl-speech">And when the disciples heard it, they were astonished exceedingly, saying, Who then can be saved?</span> 26. And Jesus looking upon them said to them, <span class="rl-speech">With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.</span> 27. Then answered Peter and said unto him, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee; what then shall we have? 28. And Jesus said unto them, <span class="rl-speech">Verily I say unto you, that ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.</span> 29. <span class="rl-speech">And every one that hath left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life.</span> 30. <span class="rl-speech">But many shall be last that are first; and first that are last.</span> (Matthew 19:1-30, ASV)

> 1. When Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan. 2. Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there. 3. Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?” 4. He answered, <span class="rl-speech">“Haven’t you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,</span> 5. and said, <span class="rl-speech">‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall join to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?’</span> 6. So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart.” 7. They asked him, “Why then did Moses command us to give her a bill of divorce, and divorce her?” 8. He said to them, <span class="rl-speech">“Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.</span> 9. <span class="rl-speech">I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.”</span> 10. His disciples said to him, “If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.” 11. But he said to them, <span class="rl-speech">“Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.</span> 12. <span class="rl-speech">For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”</span> 13. Then little children were brought to him, that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them. 14. But Jesus said, <span class="rl-speech">“Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.”</span> 15. He laid his hands on them, and departed from there. 16. Behold, one came to him and said, “Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?” 17. He said to him, <span class="rl-speech">“Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”</span> 18. He said to him, <span class="rl-speech">“Which ones?”</span> Jesus said, <span class="rl-speech">“‘You shall not murder.’ ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ‘You shall not steal.’ ‘You shall not offer false testimony.’</span> 19. <span class="rl-speech">‘Honor your father and your mother.’ And, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’</span>” 20. The young man said to him, “All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I still lack?” 21. Jesus said to him, <span class="rl-speech">“If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”</span> 22. But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions. 23. Jesus said to his disciples, <span class="rl-speech">“Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty.</span> 24. <span class="rl-speech">Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”</span> 25. <span class="rl-speech">When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”</span> 26. Looking at them, Jesus said, <span class="rl-speech">“With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”</span> 27. Then Peter answered, “Behold, we have left everything, and followed you. What then will we have?” 28. Jesus said to them, <span class="rl-speech">“Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.</span> 29. <span class="rl-speech">Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.</span> 30. <span class="rl-speech">But many will be last who are first; and first who are last.</span> (Matthew 19:1-30, WEB)

> 1. And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan; 2. And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there. 3. The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? 4. And he answered and said unto them, <span class="rl-speech">Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,</span> 5. And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6. Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 7. They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? 8. He saith unto them, <span class="rl-speech">Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.</span> 9. <span class="rl-speech">And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.</span> 10. <span class="rl-speech">His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.</span> 11.

And he said unto him, <span class="rl-speech">Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.</span> 18. He saith unto him, <span class="rl-speech">Which?</span> Jesus said, <span class="rl-speech">Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,</span> 19. <span class="rl-speech">Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.</span> 20. The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? 21. Jesus said unto him, <span class="rl-speech">If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.</span> 22. <span class="rl-speech">But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.</span> 23. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 24. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 25. When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? 26. But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, <span class="rl-speech">With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.</span> 27. Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? 28. And Jesus said unto them, <span class="rl-speech">Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.</span> 29. <span class="rl-speech">And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.</span> 30. <span class="rl-speech">But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.</span> (Matthew 19:1-30, KJV)

> 1. And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these words, he removed from Galilee, and did come to the borders of Judea, beyond the Jordan, 2. and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there. 3. And the Pharisees came near to him, tempting him, and saying to him, 'Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?' 4.

He saith to them, <span class="rl-speech">'Moses for your stiffness of heart did suffer you to put away your wives, but from the beginning it hath not been so.</span> 9. <span class="rl-speech">'And I say to you, that, whoever may put away his wife, if not for whoredom, and may marry another, doth commit adultery; and he who did marry her that hath been put away, doth commit adultery.'</span> 10. His disciples say to him, 'If the case of the man with the woman is so, it is not good to marry.' 11. And he said to them, <span class="rl-speech">'All do not receive this word, but those to whom it hath been given;</span> 12. <span class="rl-speech">for there are eunuchs who from the mother's womb were so born; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who kept themselves eunuchs because of the reign of the heavens: he who is able to receive [it], let him receive.'</span> 13. Then were brought near to him children that he might put hands on them and pray, and the disciples rebuked them. 14. But Jesus said, <span class="rl-speech">'Suffer the children, and forbid them not, to come unto me, for of such is the reign of the heavens;'</span> 15. and having laid on them [his] hands, he departed thence. 16. And lo, one having come near, said to him, 'Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have life age-during?' 17. And he said to him, <span class="rl-speech">'Why me dost thou call good? no one [is] good except One, God; but if thou dost will to enter into the life, keep the commands.'</span> 18. He saith to him, <span class="rl-speech">'What kind?'</span> And Jesus said, <span class="rl-speech">'Thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness,</span> 19. <span class="rl-speech">honour thy father and mother, and, thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.'</span> 20.

## 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.

See [Bibles](/codex/bibles/) for the full per-translation history, translators, textual basis, strengths, and weaknesses.
