WORD Research this...Luke 11
- 1 And it came about that he was in prayer in a certain place, and when he came to an end, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, will you give us teaching about prayer, as John did to his disciples?
- 2 And he said to them, When you say your prayers, say, Father, may your name be kept holy and your kingdom come.
- 3 Give us every day bread for our needs.
- 4 May we have forgiveness for our sins, as we make free all those who are in debt to us. And let us not be put to the test.
- 5 And he said to them, Which of you, having a friend, would go to him in the middle of the night and say to him, Friend, let me have three cakes of bread;
- 6 Because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to put before him;
- 7 And he, from inside the house, would say in answer, Do not be a trouble to me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; it is not possible for me to get up and give to you?
- 8 I say to you, Though he will not get up and give to him, because he is his friend, still, if he keeps on making his request, he will get up and give him as much as he has need of.
- 9 And I say to you, Make requests, and they will be answered; what you are searching for, you will get; when you give the sign, the door will be open to you.
- 10 For to everyone who makes a request, it will be given; and he who is searching will get his desire; and to him who gives the sign, the door will be open.
- 11 And which of you, being a father, will give a stone to his son, who makes request for bread? or for a fish, will give him a snake?
- 12 Or for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
- 13 If, then, you who are evil are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who make request to him?
- 14 And he was sending an evil spirit out of a man who was without the power of talking. And it came about that when the spirit had gone the man had the power of talking; and the people were full of wonder.
- 15 But some of them said, He sends out evil spirits by Beelzebul, the ruler of evil spirits.
- 16 And others, testing him, were looking for a sign from heaven from him.
- 17 But he, having knowledge of their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom in which there is division is made waste; and a house in which there is division comes to destruction.
- 18 If, then, Satan is at war with himself, how will he keep his kingdom? because you say that I send evil spirits out of men by the help of Beelzebul.
- 19 And if I, by Beelzebul, send out evil spirits, by whose help do your sons send them out? so let them be your judges.
- 20 But if I, by the finger of God, send out evil spirits, then the kingdom of God has overtaken you.
- 21 When the strong man armed keeps watch over his house, then his goods are safe:
- 22 But when one who is stronger makes an attack on him and overcomes him, he takes away his instruments of war, in which he had put his faith, and makes division of his goods.
- 23 He who is not with me is against me, and he who will not give me help in getting people together is driving them away.
- 24 The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of a man, goes through dry places, looking for rest; and when he does not get it, he says, I will go back to my house from which I came.
- 25 And when he comes, he sees that it has been made fair and clean.
- 26 Then he goes and gets seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they go in, and take their places there: and the last condition of that man is worse than the first.
- 27 And it came about that when he said these things, a certain woman among the people said in a loud voice, Happy is the body which gave you birth, and the breasts from which you took milk.
- 28 But he said, More happy are they who give hearing to the word of God and keep it.
- 29 And when a great number of people came together to him, he said, This generation is an evil generation: it is looking for a sign and no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah.
- 30 For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of man be to this generation.
- 31 The queen of the South will come up on the day of judging and give her decision against the men of this generation: for she came from the ends of the earth to give ear to the wisdom of Solomon; and now something greater than Solomon is here.
- 32 The men of Nineveh will come up in the day of judging and give their decision against this generation: for they were turned away from their sins at the preaching of Jonah; but now something greater than Jonah is here.
- 33 No man, when the light has been lighted, puts it in a secret place, or under a vessel, but on its table, so that those who come in may see the light.
- 34 The light of the body is the eye: when your eye is true, all your body is full of light; but when it is evil, your body is dark.
- 35 So take care that the light which is in you is not dark.
- 36 If, then, all your body is light, with no part of it dark, it will be completely full of light, as when a flame with its bright shining gives you light.
- 37 Now, while he was talking, a Pharisee made a request that he would come to a meal with him; and he went in and took his seat at the meal.
- 38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised because he came to the meal without first washing himself.
- 39 And the Lord said to him, You Pharisees make the outside of the cup and the plate clean; but inside you are thieves and full of evil.
- 40 O you foolish ones! did not he who made the outside in the same way make the inside?
- 41 But if you give to the poor such things as you are able, then all things are clean to you.
- 42 But a curse is on you, Pharisees! for you make men give a tenth of every sort of plant, and give no thought to right and the love of God; but it is right for you to do these things, and not let the others be undone.
- 43 A curse is on you, Pharisees! for your desires are for the most important seats in the Synagogues and for words of respect said to you in the market-place.
- 44 A curse is on you! for you are like the resting-places of dead men, which are not seen, and men go walking over them without knowledge of it.
- 45 And one of the teachers of the law, answering, said to him, Master, in saying this, you give a bad name to us as to them.
- 46 And he said, A curse is on you, teachers of the law! for while other men are crushed under the weight of the rules you make for them, you yourselves do not put so much as one finger to them.
- 47 A curse is on you! for you make resting-places for the bodies of the prophets, but your fathers put them to death.
- 48 So you are witnesses and give approval to the work of your fathers; for they put them to death and you make their last resting-places.
- 49 For this reason the wisdom of God has said, I will send them prophets and teachers, and to some of them they will give death and cruel pains;
- 50 So that punishment may come on this generation for the blood of all the prophets which was given from the earliest days;
- 51 From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who was put to death between the altar and the Temple. Yes, I say to you, It will come on this generation.
- 52 A curse is on you, teachers of the law! for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you did not go in yourselves, and you got in the way of those who were going in.
- 53 And when he had come out of that place, the scribes and the Pharisees came round him angrily, questioning him about more things;
- 54 And watching him, for a chance to get something from his words which might be used against him.

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.
