    Mark 4
    •   And he began again to teach by the sea-side: and there was gathered to him a great multitude, so that he entered into a boat, and sat on the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea, on the land.
    •   And he taught them many things by parables, and said to them in his doctrine,
    •   Hearken; Behold, a sower went out to sow:
    •   And it came to pass as he sowed, some fell by the way-side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it.
    •   And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth.
    •   But when the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
    •   And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
    •   And other fell on good ground, and yielded fruit that sprang up, and increased, and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some a hundred.
    •   And he said to them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
    • 10   And when he was alone, they that were about him, with the twelve, asked of him the parable.
    • 11   And he said to them, To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them that are without, all [these] things are done in parables:
    • 12   That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and [their] sins should be forgiven them.
    • 13   And he said to them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
    • 14   The sower soweth the word.
    • 15   And these are they by the way-side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
    • 16   And these are they likewise who are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
    • 17   And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they relapse.
    • 18   And these are they who are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
    • 19   And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
    • 20   And these are they who are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive [it], and bring forth fruit, some thirty-fold, some sixty, and some a hundred.
    • 21   And he said to them, Is a candle brought to be put under a close vessel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
    • 22   For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither hath any thing been kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
    • 23   If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear.
    • 24   And he said to them, Take heed what ye hear: With the measure which ye give, it shall be measured to you: and to you that hear shall more be given.
    • 25   For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
    • 26   And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
    • 27   And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
    • 28   For the earth bringeth forth fruit of itself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
    • 29   But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
    • 30   And he said, To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
    • 31   [It is] like a grain of mustard-seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth.
    • 32   But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under its shade.
    • 33   And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear [it].
    • 34   But without a parable he spoke not to them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
    • 35   And the same day, when the evening was come, he saith to them, Let us pass over to the other side.
    • 36   And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the boat. And there were also with him other small boats.
    • 37   And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was now full.
    • 38   And he was in the hinder part of the boat, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say to him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
    • 39   And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be still: and the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
    • 40   And he said to them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
    • 41   And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

    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.
