    John 12
    •   Then Jesus, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
    •   There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
    •   Then Mary took a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.
    •   Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's [son], who was to betray him,
    •   Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
    •   This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bore what was put in it.
    •   Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burial hath she kept this.
    •   For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always.
    •   Many people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
    • 10   But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
    • 11   Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
    • 12   On the next day, many people that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
    • 13   Took branches of palm-trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna; Blessed [is] the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
    • 14   And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
    • 15   Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
    • 16   These things his disciples understood not at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written concerning him, and [that] they had done these things to him.
    • 17   The people therefore that were with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bore testimony.
    • 18   For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
    • 19   The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
    • 20   And there were certain Greeks among them, that came to worship at the feast.
    • 21   The same came therefore to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
    • 22   Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again, Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
    • 23   And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
    • 24   Verily, verily, I say to you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
    • 25   He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall keep it to life eternal.
    • 26   If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will [my] Father honor.
    • 27   Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause I came to this hour.
    • 28   Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, [saying], I have both glorified [it], and will glorify [it] again.
    • 29   The people therefore that stood by, and heard [it], said that it thundered. Others said, An angel spoke to him.
    • 30   Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
    • 31   Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
    • 32   And I, if I shall be lifted up from the earth, will draw all [men] to me.
    • 33   (This he said, signifying what death he should die.)
    • 34   The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?
    • 35   Then Jesus said to them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
    • 36   While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spoke Jesus, and departed, and concealed himself from them.
    • 37   But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
    • 38   That the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
    • 39   Therefore they could not believe, because that Isaiah said again,
    • 40   He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with [their] eyes, nor understand with [their] heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
    • 41   These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
    • 42   Nevertheless, among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [him], lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
    • 43   For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
    • 44   Jesus cried, and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me:
    • 45   And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me:
    • 46   I am come a light into the world, that whoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
    • 47   And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
    • 48   He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
    • 49   For I have not spoken from myself; but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
    • 50   And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatever I speak therefore, even as the Father said to me, so I speak.

    Webster Bible Electronic Format.
    PUBLIC DOMAIN

    February 1992

    Beginning in July of 1991 the task of placing the Webster Bible text in electronic format began. The original purpose was to provide Larry Pierce, who produces the On-Line Bible program, with a more modern *public domain* text, similar in content and style to the AV but with a grammar that would provide better comprehension in todays English.

    I plan on maintaining an accurate copy of the Webster text. Anyone finding an error should contact me; Anyone desiring to obtain the latest, most correct text, can find it on the Bible Foundation BBS, or can contact me in the following methods:

    I would like to thank the Bible Foundation not only for scanning nearly the entire Webster Bible but for encouraging me to undertake this monumental work; particularly around page 20 when I realized what I had gotten myself into. Special thanks to Jerry Kingery of the Bible Foundation for scanning, and Jerry Hastings for doing some preliminary scan cleaning and making the texts available on the BBS.

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.
