WORD Research this...Luke 21
- 1 And he looked up, and saw the rich men that were casting their gifts into the treasury.
- 2 And he saw a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
- 3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than they all:
- 4 for all these did of their superfluity cast in unto the gifts; but she of her want did cast in all the living that she had.
- 5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and offerings, he said,
- 6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
- 7 And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when therefore shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when these things are about to come to pass?
- 8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not led astray: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am he; and, The time is at hand: go ye not after them.
- 9 And when ye shall hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified: for these things must needs come to pass first; but the end is not immediately.
- 10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;
- 11 and there shall be great earthquakes, and in divers places famines and pestilences; and there shall be terrors and great signs from heaven.
- 12 But before all these things, they shall lay their hands on you, and shall persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake.
- 13 It shall turn out unto you for a testimony.
- 14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate beforehand how to answer:
- 15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to withstand or to gainsay.
- 16 But ye shall be delivered up even by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
- 17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.
- 18 And not a hair of your head shall perish.
- 19 In your patience ye shall win your souls.
- 20 But when ye see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that her desolation is at hand.
- 21 Then let them that are in Judæa flee unto the mountains; and let them that are in the midst of her depart out; and let not them that are in the country enter therein.
- 22 For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
- 23 Woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath unto this people.
- 24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led captive into all the nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
- 25 And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the billows;
- 26 men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
- 27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
- 28 But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; because your redemption draweth nigh.
- 29 And he spake to them a parable: Behold the fig tree, and all the trees:
- 30 when they now shoot forth, ye see it and know of your own selves that the summer is now nigh.
- 31 Even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh.
- 32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all things be accomplished.
- 33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
- 34 But take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you suddenly as a snare:
- 35 for so shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of all the earth.
- 36 But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
- 37 And every day he was teaching in the temple; and every night he went out, and lodged in the mount that is called Olivet.
- 38 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him.

American Standard Version (asv - 2)
2021-02-18English (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.- Encoding: UTF-8

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.
