    John 10
    •   Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
    •   But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
    •   To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
    •   When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
    •   And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
    •   This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
    •   Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
    •   All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
    •   I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture.
    • 10   The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
    • 11   I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.
    • 12   He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf snatcheth them, and scattereth them:
    • 13   he fleeth because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
    • 14   I am the good shepherd; and I know mine own, and mine own know me,
    • 15   even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
    • 16   And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and they shall become one flock, one shepherd.
    • 17   Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
    • 18   No one taketh it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment received I from my Father.
    • 19   There arose a division again among the Jews because of these words.
    • 20   And many of them said, He hath a demon, and is mad; why hear ye him?
    • 21   Others said, These are not the sayings of one possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
    • 22   And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem:
    • 23   it was winter; and Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
    • 24   The Jews therefore came round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.
    • 25   Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, these bear witness of me.
    • 26   But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.
    • 27   My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
    • 28   and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.
    • 29   My Father, who hath given them unto me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.
    • 30   I and the Father are one.
    • 31   The Jews took up stones again to stone him.
    • 32   Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
    • 33   The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
    • 34   Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
    • 35   If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
    • 36   say ye of him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
    • 37   If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
    • 38   But if I do them, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.
    • 39   They sought again to take him: and he went forth out of their hand.
    • 40   And he went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was at the first baptizing; and there he abode.
    • 41   And many came unto him; and they said, John indeed did no sign: but all things whatsoever John spake of this man were true.
    • 42   And many believed on him there.

  • 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.
