    John 4
    • 1   Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
    • 2   (although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),
    • 3   he left Judea, and departed into Galilee.
    • 4   He needed to pass through Samaria.
    • 5   So he came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son, Joseph.
    • 6   Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
    • 7   A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”
    • 8   For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
    • 9   The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
    • 10   Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
    • 11   The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. From where then have you that living water?
    • 12   Are you greater than our father, Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, as did his children, and his livestock?”
    • 13   Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
    • 14   but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”
    • 15   The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”
    • 16   Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
    • 17   The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’
    • 18   for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”
    • 19   The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
    • 20   Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”
    • 21   Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father.
    • 22   You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
    • 23   But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.
    • 24   God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
    • 25   The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah comes, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”
    • 26   Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”
    • 27   At this, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”
    • 28   So the woman left her water pot, and went away into the city, and said to the people,
    • 29   “Come, see a man who told me everything that I did. Can this be the Christ?”
    • 30   They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
    • 31   In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
    • 32   But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
    • 33   The disciples therefore said one to another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”
    • 34   Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.
    • 35   Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest?’ Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.
    • 36   He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to eternal life; that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.
    • 37   For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’
    • 38   I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
    • 39   From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “He told me everything that I did.”
    • 40   So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
    • 41   Many more believed because of his word.
    • 42   They said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
    • 43   After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.
    • 44   For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
    • 45   So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.
    • 46   Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
    • 47   When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.
    • 48   Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”
    • 49   The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
    • 50   Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
    • 51   As he was now going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”
    • 52   So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.”
    • 53   So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” He believed, as did his whole house.
    • 54   This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.

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.
