    Mark 7
    •   And there are gathered together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem,
    •   and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with defiled, that is, unwashen, hands.
    •   (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands diligently, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders;
    •   and when they come from the marketplace, except they bathe themselves, they eat not; and many other things there are, which they have received to hold, washings of cups, and pots, and brasen vessels.)
    •   And the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with defiled hands?
    •   And he said unto them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoreth me with their lips, But their heart is far from me.
    •   But in vain do they worship me, Teachingas theirdoctrines the precepts of men.
    •   Ye leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men.
    •   And he said unto them, Full well do ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your tradition.
    • 10   For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death:
    • 11   but ye say, If a man shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God;
    • 12   ye no longer suffer him to do aught for his father or his mother;
    • 13   making void the word of God by your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do.
    • 14   And he called to him the multitude again, and said unto them, Hear me all of you, and understand:
    • 15   there is nothing from without the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.
    • 17   And when he was entered into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked of him the parable.
    • 18   And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Perceive ye not, that whatsoever from without goeth into the man, it cannot defile him;
    • 19   because it goeth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the draught? This he said, making all meats clean.
    • 20   And he said, That which proceedeth out of the man, that defileth the man.
    • 21   For from within, out of the heart of men, evil thoughts proceed, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,
    • 22   covetings, wickednesses, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness:
    • 23   all these evil things proceed from within, and defile the man.
    • 24   And from thence he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it; and he could not be hid.
    • 25   But straightway a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.
    • 26   Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter.
    • 27   And he said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs.
    • 28   But she answered and saith unto him, Yea, Lord; even the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.
    • 29   And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the demon is gone out of thy daughter.
    • 30   And she went away unto her house, and found the child laid upon the bed, and the demon gone out.
    • 31   And again he went out from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.
    • 32   And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to lay his hand upon him.
    • 33   And he took him aside from the multitude privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue;
    • 34   and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
    • 35   And his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.
    • 36   And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it.
    • 37   And they were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh even the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

  • American Standard Version (asv - 2)

    2021-02-18

    English (en)

    The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.

    The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.

    While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.

    Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.

Basic Hash Usage Explained

At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.

We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.

Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.

Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.

Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.

The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.

We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.

Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
