    Luke 7
    • 1   After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
    • 2   A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
    • 3   When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.
    • 4   When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,
    • 5   for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”
    • 6   Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
    • 7   Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
    • 8   For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
    • 9   When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.”
    • 10   Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.
    • 11   Soon afterwards, he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.
    • 12   Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.
    • 13   When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, “Don’t cry.”
    • 14   He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”
    • 15   He who was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
    • 16   Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”
    • 17   This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea, and in all the surrounding region.
    • 18   The disciples of John told him about all these things.
    • 19   John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”
    • 20   When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”
    • 21   In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.
    • 22   Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
    • 23   Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
    • 24   When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
    • 25   But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.
    • 26   But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
    • 27   This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
    • 28   “For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer, yet he who is least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.”
    • 29   When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.
    • 30   But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
    • 31   “To what then will I liken the people of this generation? What are they like?
    • 32   They are like children who sit in the marketplace, and call one to another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’
    • 33   For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
    • 34   The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man, and a drunkard; a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
    • 35   Wisdom is justified by all her children.”
    • 36   One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house, and sat at the table.
    • 37   Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
    • 38   Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
    • 39   Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”
    • 40   Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”
    • 41   “A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
    • 42   When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”
    • 43   Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
    • 44   Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.
    • 45   You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
    • 46   You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
    • 47   Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”
    • 48   He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
    • 49   Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
    • 50   He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”

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.
