    Luke 18
    • 1   And he spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint;
    • 2   saying, There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, and regarded not man:
    • 3   and there was a widow in that city; and she came oft unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
    • 4   And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
    • 5   yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest she wear me out by her continual coming.
    • 6   And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge saith.
    • 7   And shall not God avenge his elect, that cry to him day and night, and yet he is longsuffering over them?
    • 8   I say unto you, that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
    • 9   And he spake also this parable unto certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and set all others at nought:
    • 10   Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
    • 11   The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
    • 12   I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I get.
    • 13   But the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote his breast, saying, God, be thou merciful to me a sinner.
    • 14   I say unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
    • 15   And they were bringing unto him also their babes, that he should touch them: but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
    • 16   But Jesus called them unto him, saying, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for to such belongeth the kingdom of God.
    • 17   Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein.
    • 18   And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
    • 19   And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, even God.
    • 20   Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father and mother.
    • 21   And he said, All these things have I observed from my youth up.
    • 22   And when Jesus heard it, he said unto him, One thing thou lackest yet: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
    • 23   But when he heard these things, he became exceeding sorrowful; for he was very rich.
    • 24   And Jesus seeing him said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
    • 25   For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
    • 26   And they that heard it said, Then who can be saved?
    • 27   But he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
    • 28   And Peter said, Lo, we have left our own, and followed thee.
    • 29   And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,
    • 30   who shall not receive manifold more in this time, and in the world to come eternal life.
    • 31   And he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets shall be accomplished unto the Son of man.
    • 32   For he shall be delivered up unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon:
    • 33   and they shall scourge and kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
    • 34   And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hid from them, and they perceived not the things that were said.
    • 35   And it came to pass, as he drew nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
    • 36   and hearing a multitude going by, he inquired what this meant.
    • 37   And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
    • 38   And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
    • 39   And they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
    • 40   And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
    • 41   What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
    • 42   And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole.
    • 43   And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

  • 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.
