    Matthew 15
    • 1   Then there come to Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and scribes, saying,
    • 2   Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
    • 3   And he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?
    • 4   For God said, Honor thy father and thy mother: and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death.
    • 5   But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is given to God;
    • 6   he shall not honor his father. And ye have made void the word of God because of your tradition.
    • 7   Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
    • 8   This people honoreth me with their lips; But their heart is far from me.
    • 9   But in vain do they worship me, Teachingas theirdoctrines the precepts of men.
    • 10   And he called to him the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
    • 11   Not that which entereth into the mouth defileth the man; but that which proceedeth out of the mouth, this defileth the man.
    • 12   Then came the disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?
    • 13   But he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father planted not, shall be rooted up.
    • 14   Let them alone: they are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into a pit.
    • 15   And Peter answered and said unto him, Declare unto us the parable.
    • 16   And he said, Are ye also even yet without understanding?
    • 17   Perceive ye not, that whatsoever goeth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
    • 18   But the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart; and they defile the man.
    • 19   For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings:
    • 20   these are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not the man.
    • 21   And Jesus went out thence, and withdrew into the parts of Tyre and Sidon.
    • 22   And behold, a Canaanitish woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a demon.
    • 23   But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
    • 24   But he answered and said, I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
    • 25   But she came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
    • 26   And he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs.
    • 27   But she said, Yea, Lord: for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
    • 28   Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it done unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that hour.
    • 29   And Jesus departed thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.
    • 30   And there came unto him great multitudes, having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they cast them down at his feet; and he healed them:
    • 31   insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they glorified the God of Israel.
    • 32   And Jesus called unto him his disciples, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat: and I would not send them away fasting, lest haply they faint on the way.
    • 33   And the disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so many loaves in a desert place as to fill so great a multitude?
    • 34   And Jesus said unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.
    • 35   And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;
    • 36   and he took the seven loaves and the fishes; and he gave thanks and brake, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
    • 37   And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, seven baskets full.
    • 38   And they that did eat were four thousand men, besides women and children.
    • 39   And he sent away the multitudes, and entered into the boat, and came into the borders of Magadan.

  • 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.
