    Matthew 12
    •   At that time Jesus went on the sabbath through the corn, and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
    •   But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, Behold, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath.
    •   But he said to them, Have ye not read what David did when he was hungry, and they that were with him;
    •   How he entered into the house of God, and ate the show-bread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them who were with him, but only for the priests?
    •   Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
    •   But I say to you, that in this place is [one] greater than the temple.
    •   But if ye had known what [this] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
    •   For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath.
    •   And when he had departed thence, he went into their synagogue.
    • 10   And behold, there was a man who had [his] hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? that they might accuse him.
    • 11   And he said to them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it shall fall into a pit on the sabbath, will he not lay hold on it, and lift [it] out?
    • 12   How much then is a man better than a sheep? wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
    • 13   Then saith he to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched [it] out; and [it] was restored to a sound state like the other.
    • 14   Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
    • 15   But when Jesus knew [it], he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all.
    • 16   And charged them that they should not make him known:
    • 17   That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,
    • 18   Behold, my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles.
    • 19   He shall not contend, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
    • 20   A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he shall send forth judgment to victory.
    • 21   And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
    • 22   Then was brought to him one possessed with a demon, blind and dumb; and he healed him, so that the blind and dumb both spoke and saw.
    • 23   And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
    • 24   But when the Pharisees heard [it], they said, This [man] doth not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub the prince of the demons.
    • 25   And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself, is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself, shall not stand.
    • 26   And if Satan casteth out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?
    • 27   And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your children expel [them]? therefore they shall be your judges.
    • 28   But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come to you.
    • 29   Or else, how can one enter into a strong man's house, and seize his goods, except he shall first bind the strong man? and then he will plunder his house.
    • 30   He that is not with me, is against me; and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth abroad.
    • 31   Wherefore I say to you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men: but the blasphemy [against] the [Holy] Spirit shall not be forgiven to men.
    • 32   And whoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whoever speaketh against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the [world] to come.
    • 33   Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by [its] fruit.
    • 34   O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh.
    • 35   A good man, out of the good treasure of the heart, bringeth forth good things: and an evil man, out of the evil treasure, bringeth forth evil things.
    • 36   But I say to you, That for every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account in the day of judgment.
    • 37   For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
    • 38   Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
    • 39   But he answered and said to them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh for a sign, and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah.
    • 40   For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly: so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
    • 41   The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah [is] here.
    • 42   The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon [is] here.
    • 43   When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and he findeth none.
    • 44   Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth [it] empty, swept, and garnished.
    • 45   Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last [state] of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also to this wicked generation.
    • 46   While he was yet speaking to the people, behold, [his] mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
    • 47   Then one said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
    • 48   But he answered and said to him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
    • 49   And he stretched forth his hand towards his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
    • 50   For whoever shall do the will of my Father who is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

    Webster Bible Electronic Format.
    PUBLIC DOMAIN

    February 1992

    Beginning in July of 1991 the task of placing the Webster Bible text in electronic format began. The original purpose was to provide Larry Pierce, who produces the On-Line Bible program, with a more modern *public domain* text, similar in content and style to the AV but with a grammar that would provide better comprehension in todays English.

    I plan on maintaining an accurate copy of the Webster text. Anyone finding an error should contact me; Anyone desiring to obtain the latest, most correct text, can find it on the Bible Foundation BBS, or can contact me in the following methods:

    I would like to thank the Bible Foundation not only for scanning nearly the entire Webster Bible but for encouraging me to undertake this monumental work; particularly around page 20 when I realized what I had gotten myself into. Special thanks to Jerry Kingery of the Bible Foundation for scanning, and Jerry Hastings for doing some preliminary scan cleaning and making the texts available on the BBS.

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.
