American Standard Version

meaning that the guy who made it, he actually made it for his children because he wanted his kids to be able to understand the Bible.

So he went through the American Standard Version, the ASV, and he just paraphrased everything it said in English, and that's where the Living Bible came from.

Okay.

Now I'm thinking about other translations like God's Word.

When he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them because they faded and were scattered abroad as sheep having no shepherd.

The American Standard Version, 1901 says, Translates the word fainted as were distressed.

That conveys to me the idea of the multitudes, which Jesus considered were not only physically tired, they were not only worn out in the physical sense, but they're in mental anguish.

They're in spiritual distress.

Kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering, forbearing one another, forgiving one another.

If any man have a quarrel against any, even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

You know the American Standard Version translates the phrase bowels of mercies as a heart Of compassion.

I believe that actively sets forth the force that we should have in the forgiveness of others.

Okay

... which is like a retired version of the American Standard Version.

Okay.

So we wanted to start with one where it, it doesn't have a publisher, but we've, we've grown.

All right, I'm looking for an unusual one that hits it out of the fence, folks.

American Standard Version says, and it shall come to pass, before they call, I will answer, and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

Contemporary, here's another good Bible, folks.

You should get another.

And there are nine tenths of Tyndale goes into the King James Bible.

The King James Bible Revised goes into the English Revised Version, 1886, which goes into the American Standard Version, 1901, which goes into the Revised Standard Version, 1952, which becomes the lightly edited version of the ESV in 2001.

If you hold an ESV in your hand, you are holding mainly William Tyndale.

Let me illustrate because we just take for granted phrases as though, well, that's obvious.

I need Literal Standard Version, LSV.

Literal Standard Version, Good News Translation, American Standard Version, ASV, and Easy to Read.

But while we are waiting for them in case they don't have it, let me read from here.

America Standard Vers- Easy to Read version says, "Please turn to us and give us new life." Please turn to us and give us new life.
