    John 5
    •   After these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
    •   Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheepgatea pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches.
    •   In these lay a multitude of them that were sick, blind, halt, withered.
    •   And a certain man was there, who had been thirty and eight years in his infirmity.
    •   When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wouldest thou be made whole?
    •   The sick man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
    •   Jesus saith unto him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.
    •   And straightway the man was made whole, and took up his bed and walked. Now it was the sabbath on that day.
    • 10   So the Jews said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed.
    • 11   But he answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
    • 12   They asked him, Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
    • 13   But he that was healed knew not who it was; for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in the place.
    • 14   Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing befall thee.
    • 15   The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him whole.
    • 16   And for this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.
    • 17   But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh even until now, and I work.
    • 18   For this cause therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only brake the sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
    • 19   Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doeth, these the Son also doeth in like manner.
    • 20   For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth: and greater works than these will he show him, that ye may marvel.
    • 21   For as the Father raiseth the dead and giveth them life, even so the Son also giveth life to whom he will.
    • 22   For neither doth the Father judge any man, but he hath given all judgment unto the Son;
    • 23   that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father that sent him.
    • 24   Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath eternal life, and cometh not into judgment, but hath passed out of death into life.
    • 25   Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live.
    • 26   For as the Father hath life in himself, even so gave he to the Son also to have life in himself:
    • 27   and he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.
    • 28   Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice,
    • 29   and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.
    • 30   I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
    • 31   If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
    • 32   It is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
    • 33   Ye have sent unto John, and he hath borne witness unto the truth.
    • 34   But the witness which I receive is not from man: howbeit I say these things, that ye may be saved.
    • 35   He was the lamp that burneth and shineth; and ye were willing to rejoice for a season in his light.
    • 36   But the witness which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father hath given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
    • 37   And the Father that sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
    • 38   And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe not.
    • 39   Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me;
    • 40   and ye will not come to me, that ye may have life.
    • 41   I receive not glory from men.
    • 42   But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in yourselves.
    • 43   I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
    • 44   How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and the glory that cometh from the only God ye seek not?
    • 45   Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, on whom ye have set your hope.
    • 46   For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me.
    • 47   But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

  • 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.
