    Luke 20
    • 1   And it came to pass, on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, there came upon him the chief priests and the scribes with the elders;
    • 2   and they spake, saying unto him, Tell us: By what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
    • 3   And he answered and said unto them, I also will ask you a question; and tell me:
    • 4   The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?
    • 5   And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why did ye not believe him?
    • 6   But if we shall say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
    • 7   And they answered, that they knew not whence it was.
    • 8   And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
    • 9   And he began to speak unto the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country for a long time.
    • 10   And at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.
    • 11   And he sent yet another servant: and him also they beat, and handled him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
    • 12   And he sent yet a third: and him also they wounded, and cast him forth.
    • 13   And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be they will reverence him.
    • 14   But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned one with another, saying, This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
    • 15   And they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
    • 16   He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
    • 17   But he looked upon them, and said, What then is this that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner?
    • 18   Every one that falleth on that stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.
    • 19   And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that very hour; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he spake this parable against them.
    • 20   And they watched him, and sent forth spies, who feigned themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor.
    • 21   And they asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person of any, but of a truth teachest the way of God:
    • 22   Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Cæsar, or not?
    • 23   But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them,
    • 24   Show me a denarius. Whose image and superscription hath it? And they said, Cæsar’s.
    • 25   And he said unto them, Then render unto Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s.
    • 26   And they were not able to take hold of the saying before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
    • 27   And there came to him certain of the Sadducees, they that say that there is no resurrection;
    • 28   and they asked him, saying, Teacher, Moses wrote unto us, that if a man’s brother die, having a wife, and he be childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
    • 29   There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died childless;
    • 30   and the second:
    • 31   and the third took her; and likewise the seven also left no children, and died.
    • 32   Afterward the woman also died.
    • 33   In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven had her to wife.
    • 34   And Jesus said unto them, The sons of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
    • 35   but they that are accounted worthy to attain to that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
    • 36   for neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
    • 37   But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the place concerning the Bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
    • 38   Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
    • 39   And certain of the scribes answering said, Teacher, thou hast well said.
    • 40   For they durst not any more ask him any question.
    • 41   And he said unto them, How say they that the Christ is David’s son?
    • 42   For David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
    • 43   Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.
    • 44   David therefore calleth him Lord, and how is he his son?
    • 45   And in the hearing of all the people he said unto his disciples,
    • 46   Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts;
    • 47   who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater condemnation.

  • 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.
