    Matthew 22
    •   And Jesus answered, and spoke to them again by parables, and said,
    •   The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, who made a marriage for his son,
    •   And sent his servants to call them that were invited to the wedding: and they would not come.
    •   Again, he sent other servants, saying, Tell them who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and [my] fatlings [are] killed, and all things [are] ready: come to the marriage.
    •   But they made light of [it], and went, one to his farm, another to his merchandise.
    •   And the remnant took his servants, and treated [them] spitefully, and slew [them].
    •   But when the king heard [of it], he was wroth: and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
    •   Then he saith to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they who were invited were not worthy.
    •   Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, invite to the marriage.
    • 10   So those servants went out into the highways, and collected all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
    • 11   And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who had not a wedding-garment:
    • 12   And he saith to him, Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless.
    • 13   Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast [him] into utter darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
    • 14   For many are called, but few [are] chosen.
    • 15   Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in [his] talk.
    • 16   And they sent out to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any [man]: for thou regardest not the person of men.
    • 17   Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute to Cesar, or not?
    • 18   But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, [ye] hypocrites?
    • 19   Show me the tribute-money. And they brought to him a penny.
    • 20   And he saith to them, Whose [is] this image, and superscription?
    • 21   They say to him, Cesar's. Then saith he to them, Render therefore to Cesar, the things which are Cesar's; and to God, the things that are God's.
    • 22   When they had heard [these words], they marveled, and left him, and departed.
    • 23   The same day came to him the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
    • 24   Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man shall die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
    • 25   Now there were with us seven brothers: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased; and having no issue, left his wife to his brother.
    • 26   Likewise the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
    • 27   And last of all the woman died also.
    • 28   Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
    • 29   Jesus answered and said to them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
    • 30   For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
    • 31   But as concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
    • 32   I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
    • 33   And when the multitude heard [this], they were astonished at his doctrine.
    • 34   But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were assembled about him.
    • 35   Then one of them [who was] a lawyer, asked [him a question], tempting him, and saying,
    • 36   Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law?
    • 37   Jesus said to him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
    • 38   This is the first and great commandment.
    • 39   And the second [is] like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
    • 40   On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
    • 41   While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked them,
    • 42   Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, [The son] of David.
    • 43   He saith to them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
    • 44   The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool?
    • 45   If David then calleth him Lord, how is he his son?
    • 46   And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any [man], from that day forth, ask him any more questions.

    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.
