    Luke 14
    • 1   And it came to pass, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.
    • 2   And behold, there was before him a certain man that had the dropsy.
    • 3   And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not?
    • 4   But they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go.
    • 5   And he said unto them, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a well, and will not straightway draw him up on a sabbath day?
    • 6   And they could not answer again unto these things.
    • 7   And he spake a parable unto those that were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief seats; saying unto them,
    • 8   When thou art bidden of any man to a marriage feast, sit not down in the chief seat; lest haply a more honorable man than thou be bidden of him,
    • 9   and he that bade thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and then thou shalt begin with shame to take the lowest place.
    • 10   But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that hath bidden thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have glory in the presence of all that sit at meat with thee.
    • 11   For every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
    • 12   And he said to him also that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbors; lest haply they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee.
    • 13   But when thou makest a feast, bid the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
    • 14   and thou shalt be blessed; because they have not wherewith to recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed in the resurrection of the just.
    • 15   And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
    • 16   But he said unto him, A certain man made a great supper; and he bade many:
    • 17   and he sent forth his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
    • 18   And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a field, and I must needs go out and see it; I pray thee have me excused.
    • 19   And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee have me excused.
    • 20   And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
    • 21   And the servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor and maimed and blind and lame.
    • 22   And the servant said, Lord, what thou didst command is done, and yet there is room.
    • 23   And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and constrain them to come in, that my house may be filled.
    • 24   For I say unto you, that none of those men that were bidden shall taste of my supper.
    • 25   Now there went with him great multitudes: and he turned, and said unto them,
    • 26   If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
    • 27   Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
    • 28   For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have wherewith to complete it?
    • 29   Lest haply, when he hath laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all that behold begin to mock him,
    • 30   saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
    • 31   Or what king, as he goeth to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
    • 32   Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and asketh conditions of peace.
    • 33   So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
    • 34   Salt therefore is good: but if even the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
    • 35   It is fit neither for the land nor for the dunghill: men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

  • 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.
