    Luke 12
    • 1   In the mean time, when the many thousands of the multitude were gathered together, insomuch that they trod one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
    • 2   But there is nothing covered up, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
    • 3   Wherefore whatsoever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and what ye have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
    • 4   And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
    • 5   But I will warn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, who after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
    • 6   Are not five sparrows sold for two pence? and not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God.
    • 7   But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
    • 8   And I say unto you, Every one who shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
    • 9   but he that denieth me in the presence of men shall be denied in the presence of the angels of God.
    • 10   And every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.
    • 11   And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
    • 12   for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that very hour what ye ought to say.
    • 13   And one out of the multitude said unto him, Teacher, bid my brother divide the inheritance with me.
    • 14   But he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
    • 15   And he said unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
    • 16   And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
    • 17   and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where to bestow my fruits?
    • 18   And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my grain and my goods.
    • 19   And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.
    • 20   But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?
    • 21   So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
    • 22   And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.
    • 23   For the life is more than the food, and the body than the raiment.
    • 24   Consider the ravens, that they sow not, neither reap; which have no store-chamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more value are ye than the birds!
    • 25   And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit unto the measure of his life?
    • 26   If then ye are not able to do even that which is least, why are ye anxious concerning the rest?
    • 27   Consider the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin; yet I say unto you, Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
    • 28   But if God doth so clothe the grass in the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven; how much more shall he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
    • 29   And seek not ye what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
    • 30   For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
    • 31   Yet seek ye his kingdom, and these things shall be added unto you.
    • 32   Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
    • 33   Sell that which ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief draweth near, neither moth destroyeth.
    • 34   For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
    • 35   Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning;
    • 36   and be ye yourselves like unto men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway open unto him.
    • 37   Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and shall come and serve them.
    • 38   And if he shall come in the second watch, and if in the third, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
    • 39   But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have left his house to be broken through.
    • 40   Be ye also ready: for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh.
    • 41   And Peter said, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even unto all?
    • 42   And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall set over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?
    • 43   Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
    • 44   Of a truth I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath.
    • 45   But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
    • 46   the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the unfaithful.
    • 47   And that servant, who knew his lord’s will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;
    • 48   but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom they commit much, of him will they ask the more.
    • 49   I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what do I desire, if it is already kindled?
    • 50   But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
    • 51   Think ye that I am come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
    • 52   for there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
    • 53   They shall be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother in law against her daughter in law, and daughter in law against her mother in law.
    • 54   And he said to the multitudes also, When ye see a cloud rising in the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it cometh to pass.
    • 55   And when ye see a south wind blowing, ye say, There will be a scorching heat; and it cometh to pass.
    • 56   Ye hypocrites, ye know how to interpret the face of the earth and the heaven; but how is it that ye know not how to interpret this time?
    • 57   And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
    • 58   For as thou art going with thine adversary before the magistrate, on the way give diligence to be quit of him; lest haply he drag thee unto the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer shall cast thee into prison.
    • 59   I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the very last mite.

  • 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.
