    Luke 19
    •   And he entered and was passing through Jericho.
    •   And behold, a man called by name Zacchæus; and he was a chief publican, and he was rich.
    •   And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature.
    •   And he ran on before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
    •   And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and said unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for to-day I must abide at thy house.
    •   And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
    •   And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, He is gone in to lodge with a man that is a sinner.
    •   And Zacchæus stood, and said unto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wrongfully exacted aught of any man, I restore fourfold.
    •   And Jesus said unto him, To-day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
    • 10   For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.
    • 11   And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was immediately to appear.
    • 12   He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
    • 13   And he called ten servants of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said unto them, Trade ye herewith till I come.
    • 14   But his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not that this man reign over us.
    • 15   And it came to pass, when he was come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, unto whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading.
    • 16   And the first came before him, saying, Lord, thy pound hath made ten pounds more.
    • 17   And he said unto him, Well done, thou good servant: because thou wast found faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
    • 18   And the second came, saying, Thy pound, Lord, hath made five pounds.
    • 19   And he said unto him also, Be thou also over five cities.
    • 20   And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I kept laid up in a napkin:
    • 21   for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that which thou layedst not down, and reapest that which thou didst not sow.
    • 22   He saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up that which I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow;
    • 23   then wherefore gavest thou not my money into the bank, and I at my coming should have required it with interest?
    • 24   And he said unto them that stood by, Take away from him the pound, and give it unto him that hath the ten pounds.
    • 25   And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.
    • 26   I say unto you, that unto every one that hath shall be given; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him.
    • 27   But these mine enemies, that would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
    • 28   And when he had thus spoken, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
    • 29   And it came to pass, when he drew nigh unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,
    • 30   saying, Go your way into the village over against you; in which as ye enter ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat: loose him, and bring him.
    • 31   And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say, The Lord hath need of him.
    • 32   And they that were sent went away, and found even as he had said unto them.
    • 33   And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
    • 34   And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
    • 35   And they brought him to Jesus: and they threw their garments upon the colt, and set Jesus thereon.
    • 36   And as he went, they spread their garments in the way.
    • 37   And as he was now drawing nigh, even at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen;
    • 38   saying, Blessed is the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
    • 39   And some of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.
    • 40   And he answered and said, I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.
    • 41   And when he drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over it,
    • 42   saying, If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
    • 43   For the days shall come upon thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
    • 44   and shall dash thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
    • 45   And he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold,
    • 46   saying unto them, It is written, And my house shall be a house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of robbers.
    • 47   And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him:
    • 48   and they could not find what they might do; for the people all hung upon him, listening.

  • 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.
