    John 9
    • 1   And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth.
    • 2   And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind?
    • 3   Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
    • 4   We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
    • 5   When I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
    • 6   When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay,
    • 7   and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
    • 8   The neighbors therefore, and they that saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
    • 9   Others said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he.
    • 10   They said therefore unto him, How then were thine eyes opened?
    • 11   He answered, The man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to Siloam, and wash: so I went away and washed, and I received sight.
    • 12   And they said unto him, Where is he? He saith, I know not.
    • 13   They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
    • 14   Now it was the sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
    • 15   Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. And he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see.
    • 16   Some therefore of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. But others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them.
    • 17   They say therefore unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, in that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.
    • 18   The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight,
    • 19   and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
    • 20   His parents answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
    • 21   but how he now seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself.
    • 22   These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
    • 23   Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
    • 24   So they called a second time the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner.
    • 25   He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
    • 26   They said therefore unto him, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
    • 27   He answered them, I told you even now, and ye did not hear; wherefore would ye hear it again? would ye also become his disciples?
    • 28   And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses.
    • 29   We know that God hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this man, we know not whence he is.
    • 30   The man answered and said unto them, Why, herein is the marvel, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he opened mine eyes.
    • 31   We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth.
    • 32   Since the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind.
    • 33   If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.
    • 34   They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
    • 35   Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
    • 36   He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?
    • 37   Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that speaketh with thee.
    • 38   And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
    • 39   And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they that see not may see; and that they that see may become blind.
    • 40   Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we also blind?
    • 41   Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth.

  • 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.
