    Matthew 25
    • 1   Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
    • 2   And five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
    • 3   For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them:
    • 4   but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
    • 5   Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
    • 6   But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him.
    • 7   Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
    • 8   And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out.
    • 9   But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
    • 10   And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut.
    • 11   Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
    • 12   But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
    • 13   Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.
    • 14   Forit isaswhena man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
    • 15   And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey.
    • 16   Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents.
    • 17   In like manner he also that received the two gained other two.
    • 18   But he that received the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
    • 19   Now after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and maketh a reckoning with them.
    • 20   And he that received the five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: lo, I have gained other five talents.
    • 21   His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
    • 22   And he also that received the two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: lo, I have gained other two talents.
    • 23   His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
    • 24   And he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter;
    • 25   and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own.
    • 26   But his lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I did not scatter;
    • 27   thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine own with interest.
    • 28   Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents.
    • 29   For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away.
    • 30   And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
    • 31   But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:
    • 32   and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats;
    • 33   and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
    • 34   Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
    • 35   for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in;
    • 36   naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
    • 37   Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink?
    • 38   And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
    • 39   And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
    • 40   And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, ye did it unto me.
    • 41   Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels:
    • 42   for I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink;
    • 43   I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye clothed me not; sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
    • 44   Then shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
    • 45   Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me.
    • 46   And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life.

  • 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.
