    Matthew 24
    •   And Jhesus wente out of the temple; and his disciplis camen to hym, to schewe hym the bildyngis of the temple.
    •   But he answeride, and seide to hem, Seen ye alle these thingis? Treuli Y seie to you, a stoon schal not be left here on a stoon, that ne it schal be destried.
    •   And whanne he satte on the hille of Olyuete, hise disciplis camen to hym priueli, and seiden, Seie vs, whanne these thingis schulen be, and what token of thi comyng, and of the ending of the world.
    •   And Jhesus answeride, and seide to hem, Loke ye, that no man disseyue you.
    •   For many schulen come in my name, and schulen seie, Y am Crist; and thei schulen disseyue manye.
    •   For ye schulen here batels, and opyniouns of batels; se ye that ye be not disturblid; for it byhoueth these thingis to be don, but not yit is the ende.
    •   Folk schal rise togidere ayens folc, and rewme ayens rewme, and pestilences, and hungris, and the erthemouyngis schulen be bi placis;
    •   and alle these ben bigynnyngis of sorewes.
    •   Thanne men schulen bitake you in to tribulacion, and schulen sle you, and ye schulen be in hate to alle folk for my name.
    • 10   And thanne many schulen be sclaundrid, and bitraye ech other, and thei schulen hate ech other.
    • 11   And many false prophetis schulen rise, and disseyue manye.
    • 12   And for wickidnesse schal `be plenteuouse, the charite of manye schal wexe coold;
    • 13   but he that schal dwelle stable in to the ende, schal be saaf.
    • 14   And this gospel of the kyngdom schal be prechid in al the world, in witnessyng to al folc;
    • 15   and thanne the ende schal come. Therfor whanne ye se the abhomynacioun of discomfort, that is seid of Danyel, the prophete, stondynge in the hooli place; he that redith, vndirstonde he;
    • 16   thanne thei that ben in Judee, fle to the mounteyns; and he that is in the hous roof,
    • 17   come not doun to take ony thing of his hous; and he that is in the feeld,
    • 18   turne not ayen to take his coote.
    • 19   But wo to hem that ben with child, and nurischen in tho daies.
    • 20   Preye ye, that youre fleyng be not maad in wynter, or in the saboth.
    • 21   For thanne schal be greet tribulacioun, what maner `was not fro the bigynnyng of the world to now, nether schal be maad.
    • 22   And but tho daies hadden be abreggide, ech flesch schulde not be maad saaf; but tho daies schulen be maad schort, for the chosun men.
    • 23   Thanne if ony man seie to you, Lo! here is Crist, or there, nyle ye bileue.
    • 24   For false Cristis and false prophetis schulen rise, and thei schulen yyue grete tokenes and wondrys; so that also the chosun be led in to erroure, if it may be done.
    • 25   Lo! Y haue bifor seid to you.
    • 26   Therfor if thei seie to you, Lo! he is in desert, nyle ye go out; lo! in priuey placis, nyle ye trowe.
    • 27   For as leit goith out fro the eest, and apperith in to the weste, so schal be also the coming of mannus sone.
    • 28   Where euer the bodi schal be, also the eglis schulen be gaderid thidur.
    • 29   And anoon after the tribulacioun of tho daies, the sunne schal be maad derk, and the moone schal not yyue hir liyt, and the sterris schulen falle fro heuene, and the vertues of heuenes schulen be moued.
    • 30   And thanne the tokene of mannus sone schal appere in heuene, and thanne alle kynredis of the erthe schulen weile; and thei schulen see mannus sone comynge in the cloudis of heuene, with miche vertu and maieste.
    • 31   And he schal sende hise aungels with a trumpe, and a greet vois; and thei schulen gedere hise chosun fro foure wyndis, fro the hiyest thingis of heuenes to the endis of hem.
    • 32   And lerne ye the parable of a fige tre. Whanne his braunche is now tendir, and the leeues ben sprongun, ye witen that somer is nyy;
    • 33   `so and ye whanne ye seen alle these thingis, wite ye that it is nyy, in the yatis.
    • 34   Treuli Y seie to you, for this generacioun schal not passe, til alle thingis be don;
    • 35   heuene and erthe schulen passe, but my wordis schulen not passe.
    • 36   But of thilke dai and our no man wote, nethir aungels of heuenes, but the fadir aloone.
    • 37   But as it was in the daies of Noe, so schal be the comyng of mannus sone.
    • 38   For as in the daies bifore the greet flood, thei weren etynge and drynkynge, weddynge and takynge to weddyng, to that dai, that Noe entride in to the schippe;
    • 39   and thei knewen not, til the greet flood cam, and took alle men, so schal be the comyng of mannus sone.
    • 40   Thanne tweyne schulen be in o feeld, oon schal be takun, and another left;
    • 41   twey wymmen schulen be gryndynge in o queerne, oon schal be takun, and `the tother left; tweyn in a bedde, `the toon schal be takun, and the tother left.
    • 42   Therfor wake ye, for ye witen not in what our the Lord schal come.
    • 43   But wite ye this, that if the hosebonde man wiste in what our the thefe were to come, certis he wolde wake, and suffre not his hous to be vndurmyned.
    • 44   And therfor be ye redi, for in what our ye gessen not, mannus sone schal come.
    • 45   Who gessist thou is a trewe seruaunt and prudent, whom his lord ordeyned on his meynee, to yyue hem mete in tyme?
    • 46   Blessed is that seruaunt, whom `his lord, whanne he schal come, schal fynde so doynge.
    • 47   Treuli Y seye to you, for on alle his goodis he schal ordeyne hym.
    • 48   But if thilke yuel seruaunt seie in his herte, My lord tarieth to come,
    • 49   and bigynneth to smyte hise euen seruauntis, and ete, and drynke with drunken men;
    • 50   the lord of that seruaunt schal come in the dai which he hopith not, and in the our that he knowith not,
    • 51   and schal departe hym, and putte his part with ypocritis; there schal be wepyng, and gryntyng of teeth.

  • 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.
