    Mark 5
    •   And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.
    •   And when he was come out of the boat, straightway there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
    •   who had his dwelling in the tombs: and no man could any more bind him, no, not with a chain;
    •   because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been rent asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: and no man had strength to tame him.
    •   And always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
    •   And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshipped him;
    •   and crying out with a loud voice, he saith, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I adjure thee by God, torment me not.
    •   For he said unto him, Come forth, thou unclean spirit, out of the man.
    •   And he asked him, What is thy name? And he saith unto him, My name is Legion; for we are many.
    • 10   And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
    • 11   Now there was there on the mountain side a great herd of swine feeding.
    • 12   And they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
    • 13   And he gave them leave. And the unclean spirits came out, and entered into the swine: and the herd rushed down the steep into the sea, in number about two thousand; and they were drowned in the sea.
    • 14   And they that fed them fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they came to see what it was that had come to pass.
    • 15   And they come to Jesus, and behold him that was possessed with demons sitting, clothed and in his right mind, even him that had the legion: and they were afraid.
    • 16   And they that saw it declared unto them how it befell him that was possessed with demons, and concerning the swine.
    • 17   And they began to beseech him to depart from their borders.
    • 18   And as he was entering into the boat, he that had been possessed with demons besought him that he might be with him.
    • 19   And he suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go to thy house unto thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and how he had mercy on thee.
    • 20   And he went his way, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men marvelled.
    • 21   And when Jesus had crossed over again in the boat unto the other side, a great multitude was gathered unto him; and he was by the sea.
    • 22   And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jaïrus by name; and seeing him, he falleth at his feet,
    • 23   and beseecheth him much, saying, My little daughter is at the point of death: I pray thee, that thou come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be made whole, and live.
    • 24   And he went with him; and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him.
    • 25   And a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years,
    • 26   and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
    • 27   having heard the things concerning Jesus, came in the crowd behind, and touched his garment.
    • 28   For she said, If I touch but his garments, I shall be made whole.
    • 29   And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her plague.
    • 30   And straightway Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power proceeding from him had gone forth, turned him about in the crowd, and said, Who touched my garments?
    • 31   And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
    • 32   And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
    • 33   But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
    • 34   And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
    • 35   While he yet spake, they come from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Teacher any further?
    • 36   But Jesus, not heeding the word spoken, saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not, only believe.
    • 37   And he suffered no man to follow with him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
    • 38   And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he beholdeth a tumult, and many weeping and wailing greatly.
    • 39   And when he was entered in, he saith unto them, Why make ye a tumult, and weep? the child is not dead, but sleepeth.
    • 40   And they laughed him to scorn. But he, having put them all forth, taketh the father of the child and her mother and them that were with him, and goeth in where the child was.
    • 41   And taking the child by the hand, he saith unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, Arise.
    • 42   And straightway the damsel rose up, and walked; for she was twelve years old. And they were amazed straightway with a great amazement.
    • 43   And he charged them much that no man should know this: and he commanded that something should be given her to eat.

  • American Standard Version (asv - 2)

    2021-02-18

    English (en)

    The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.

    The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.

    While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.

    Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.

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.
