    John 20
    •   Now on the firstdayof the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, while it was yet dark, unto the tomb, and seeth the stone taken away from the tomb.
    •   She runneth therefore, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.
    •   Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb.
    •   And they ran both together: and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb;
    •   and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths lying; yet entered he not in.
    •   Simon Peter therefore also cometh, following him, and entered into the tomb; and he beholdeth the linen cloths lying,
    •   and the napkin, that was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.
    •   Then entered in therefore the other disciple also, who came first to the tomb, and he saw, and believed.
    •   For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
    • 10   So the disciples went away again unto their own home.
    • 11   But Mary was standing without at the tomb weeping: so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb;
    • 12   and she beholdeth two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
    • 13   And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
    • 14   When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and beholdeth Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
    • 15   Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
    • 16   Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turneth herself, and saith unto him in Hebrew, Rabboni; which is to say, Teacher.
    • 17   Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.
    • 18   Mary Magdalene cometh and telleth the disciples, I have seen the Lord; and that he had said these things unto her.
    • 19   When therefore it was evening, on that day, the firstdayof the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
    • 20   And when he had said this, he showed unto them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord.
    • 21   Jesus therefore said to them again, Peace be unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
    • 22   And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit:
    • 23   whose soever sins ye forgive, they are forgiven unto them; whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
    • 24   But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
    • 25   The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.
    • 26   And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
    • 27   Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and put it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
    • 28   Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
    • 29   Jesus saith unto him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
    • 30   Many other signs therefore did Jesus in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book:
    • 31   but these are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye may have life in his name.

  • 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.
