    Matthew 18
    •   At the same time came the disciples to Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
    •   And Jesus called a little child to him, and set him in the midst of them,
    •   And said, Verily I say to you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
    •   Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
    •   And whoever shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.
    •   But whoever shall cause one of these little ones who believe in me, to sin, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
    •   Woe to the world because of offenses! for it must needs be that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh!
    •   Wherefore, if thy hand or thy foot causeth thee to sin, cut them off, and cast [them] from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire.
    •   And if thy eye causeth thee to sin, pluck it out, and cast [it] from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell-fire.
    • 10   Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.
    • 11   For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
    • 12   How think ye? if a man hath a hundred sheep, and one of them is gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and go to the mountains, and seek that which is gone astray?
    • 13   And if he findeth it, verily I say to you, he rejoiceth more over that [sheep], than over the ninety and nine which went not astray.
    • 14   Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
    • 15   Moreover, if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
    • 16   But if he will not hear [thee], [then] take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
    • 17   And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell [it] to the church: but if he shall neglect to hear the church, let him be to thee as a heathen and a publican.
    • 18   Verily I say to you, Whatever ye shall bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven: and whatever ye shall loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.
    • 19   Again I say to you, That if two of you shall agree on earth, concerning any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
    • 20   For where two or three are assembled in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
    • 21   Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
    • 22   Jesus saith to him, I say not to thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
    • 23   Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a certain king who would take account of his servants.
    • 24   And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
    • 25   But as he had not ability to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
    • 26   The servant therefore fell down, and worshiped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
    • 27   Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
    • 28   But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took [him] by the throat, saying, Pay me what thou owest.
    • 29   And his fellow-servant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
    • 30   And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
    • 31   So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done.
    • 32   Then his lord, having called him, said to him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
    • 33   Shouldst thou not also have had compassion on thy fellow-servant, even as I had pity on thee?
    • 34   And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due to him.
    • 35   So likewise shall my heavenly Father do to you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

    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.
