    Luke 18
    • 1   And he seide to hem also a parable, that it bihoueth to preye euer more, and not faile;
    • 2   and seide, There was a iuge in a citee, that dredde not God, nether schamede of men.
    • 3   And a widowe was in that citee, and sche cam to hym, and seide, Venge me of myn aduersarie;
    • 4   and he wolde not longe tyme. But aftir these thingis he seide with ynne hym silf, Thouy Y drede not God, and schame not of man,
    • 5   netheles for this widewe is heuy to me, Y schal venge hir; lest at the laste sche comynge condempne me.
    • 6   And the Lord seide, Here ye, what the domesman of wickidnesse seith;
    • 7   and whether God schal not do veniaunce of hise chosun, criynge to hym dai and nyyt, and schal haue pacience in hem?
    • 8   Sotheli Y seie to you, for soone he schal do veniaunce of hem. Netheles gessist thou, that mannus sone comynge schal fynde feith in erthe?
    • 9   And he seide also to sum men, that tristiden in hem silf, as thei weren riytful, and dispiseden othere, this parable,
    • 10   seiynge, Twei men wenten vp in to the temple to preye; the toon a Farisee, and the tother a pupplican.
    • 11   And the Farisee stood, and preiede bi hym silf these thingis, and seide, God, Y do thankyngis to thee, for Y am not as other men, raueinouris, vniust, auoutreris, as also this pupplican;
    • 12   Y faste twies in the woke, Y yyue tithis of alle thingis that Y haue in possessioun.
    • 13   And the pupplican stood afer, and wolde nether reise hise iyen to heuene, but smoot his brest, and seide, God be merciful to me, synnere.
    • 14   Treuli Y seie to you, this yede doun in to his hous, and was iustified fro the other. For ech that enhaunsith hym, schal be maad low, and he that mekith hym, schal be enhaunsid.
    • 15   And thei brouyten to hym yonge children, that he schulde touche hem; and whanne the disciplis saien this thing, thei blameden hem.
    • 16   But Jhesus clepide togider hem, and seide, Suffre ye children to come to me, and nyle ye forbede hem, for of siche is the kyngdom of heuenes.
    • 17   Treuli Y seie to you, who euer schal not take the kyngdom of God as a child, he schal not entre in to it.
    • 18   And a prince axide hym, and seide, Goode maister, in what thing doynge schal Y weilde euerlastynge lijf?
    • 19   And Jhesus seide to hym, What seist thou me good? No man is good, but God aloone.
    • 20   Thou knowist the comaundementis, Thou schalt not sle, Thou schalt not do letcherie, Thou schalt not do theft, Thou schalt not seie fals witnessyng, Worschipe thi fadir and thi modir.
    • 21   Which seide, Y haue kept alle these thingis fro my yongthe.
    • 22   And whanne this thing was herd, Jhesus seide to hym, Yit o thing failith `to thee; sille thou alle thingis that thou hast, and yyue to pore men, and thou schalt haue tresour in heuene; and come, and sue thou me.
    • 23   Whanne these thingis weren herd, he was soreful, for he was ful ryche.
    • 24   And Jhesus seynge hym maad sorie, seide, How hard thei that han money schulen entre in to the kyngdom of God;
    • 25   for it is liyter a camel to passe thorou a nedlis iye, than a riche man to entre in to the kyngdom of God.
    • 26   And thei that herden these thingis seiden, Who may be maad saaf?
    • 27   And he seide to hem, Tho thingis that ben impossible anentis men, ben possible anentis God.
    • 28   But Petir seide, Lo! we han left alle thingis, and han sued thee.
    • 29   And he seide to hym, Treuli Y seie to you, there is no man that schal forsake hous, or fadir, modir, or britheren, or wijf, or children, or feeldis, for the rewme of God,
    • 30   and schal not resseyue many mo thingis in this tyme, and in the world to comynge euerlastynge lijf.
    • 31   And Jhesus took hise twelue disciplis, and seide to hem, Lo! we gon vp to Jerusalem, and alle thingis schulen be endid, that ben writun bi the prophetis of mannus sone.
    • 32   For he schal be bitraied to hethen men, and he schal be scorned, and scourgid, and bispat;
    • 33   and aftir that thei han scourgid, thei schulen sle hym, and the thridde dai he schal rise ayen.
    • 34   And thei vndurstoden no thing of these; and this word was hid fro hem, and thei vndurstoden not tho thingis that weren seid.
    • 35   But it was don, whanne Jhesus cam nyy to Jerico, a blynde man sat bisidis the weie, and beggide.
    • 36   And whanne he herde the puple passynge, he axide, what this was.
    • 37   And thei seiden to hym, that Jhesus of Nazareth passide.
    • 38   And he criede, and seide, Jhesu, the sone of Dauyd, haue mercy on me.
    • 39   And thei that wenten bifor blamyden hym, that he schulde be stille; but he criede myche the more, Thou sone of Dauid, haue mercy on me.
    • 40   And Jhesus stood, and comaundide hym to be brouyt forth to hym. And whanne he cam nyy, he axide hym,
    • 41   and seide, What wolt thou that Y schal do to thee? And he seide, Lord, that Y se.
    • 42   And Jhesus seide to hym, Biholde; thi feith hath maad thee saaf.
    • 43   And anoon he say, and suede hym, and magnyfiede God. And al the puple, as it say, yaf heriyng to God.

  • John Wycliffe Bible (c.1395) (wycliffe - 2.4.1)

    2020-08-01

    English (enm)

    The Holy Bible, containing the Old and New Testaments, with the Apocryphal books, in the earliest English versions made from the Latin Vulgate by John Wycliffe and his followers, c.1395

    Source text https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible_(Wycliffe)

    John Wycliffe organized the first complete translation of the Bible into Middle English in the 1380s.

    The translation from the Vulgate was a collaborative effort, and it is not clear which portions are actually Wycliffe's work.

    Church authorities officially condemned the translators of the Bible into vernacular languages and called these heretics Lollards.

    Despite their prohibition, revised versions of Wycliffite Bibles remained in use for about 100 years.

    Wikisource attributes its source as the Wesley Center Online.

    That in turn was derived from the Fedosov transcription on the Slavic Bibles site http://www.sbible.ru

    The source text makes no use of archaic letters that were part of Middle English orthography.
    The Latin letter Yogh [ȝ] was evidently replaced by the letter [y] in the Fedosov transcription.

    The text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.

    Verse numbers were not used in either the earlier or later version of the Wycliffe Bible in the fourteenth century. Each chapter consisted of one unbroken block of text. There were not even any paragraphs. Hence whatever verse numbers we now have in modern editions have been added retrospectively by comparison with other English Bibles and the Latin Vulgate.

    Two books found in the Vulgate, II Esdras and Psalm 151, were never part of the Wycliffe Bible.

    Module build notes:
    1. The Prayer of Manasseh has been separated from 2 Chronicles in order to avoid a critical versification issue.
    cf. In Wikisource it was assigned as 2 Paralipomenon chapter 37.
    2. The Letter of Jeremiah has been joined to Baruch as chapter 6 thereof.
    3. The book order of Wycliffe's Bible differs from that of the Vulg versification used in this module.
    4. There are now 313 notes in the Wikisource document.
    5. The Wikisource text substantially matches that of the nine books in module version 1.0
    6. Each of these five verses not in the Vulg versification was appended to the previous verse: Deut.27.27 Esth.5.15 Ps.38.15 Ps.147.10 Luke.10.43
    7. There are also several verses without any text. Use Sword utility emptyvss to list these.

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.
