    Luke 14
    •   And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath, that they watched him.
    •   And behold, there was a certain man before him who had the dropsy.
    •   And Jesus answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?
    •   And they held their peace. And he took [him] and healed him, and let him go;
    •   And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not forthwith pull him out on the sabbath?
    •   And they could not answer him again to these things.
    •   And he put forth a parable to those who were invited, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying to them,
    •   When thou art invited by any [man] to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room, lest a more honorable man than thou be invited by him;
    •   And he that invited thee and him, shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
    • 10   But when thou art invited, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that invited thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honor in the presence of them that sit at table with thee.
    • 11   For whoever exalteth himself shall be abased, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
    • 12   Then said he also to him that invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor [thy] rich neighbors; lest they also invite thee again, and a recompense be made thee.
    • 13   But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
    • 14   And thou shalt be blessed: for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
    • 15   And when one of them that sat at table with him heard these things, he said to him, Blessed [is] he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
    • 16   Then said he to him, A certain man made a great supper, and invited many:
    • 17   And sent his servant at supper-time, to say to them that were invited, Come, for all things are now ready.
    • 18   And they all with one [consent] began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
    • 19   And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
    • 20   And another said, I have married a wife: and therefore I cannot come.
    • 21   So that servant came, and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry, said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
    • 22   And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
    • 23   And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel [them] to come in, that my house may be filled.
    • 24   For I say to you, that none of those men who were invited, shall taste my supper.
    • 25   And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said to them,
    • 26   If any [man] cometh to me, and hateth not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
    • 27   And whoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
    • 28   For which of you intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he hath [sufficient] to finish [it]?
    • 29   Lest perhaps after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish [it], all that behold [it] begin to mock him,
    • 30   Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
    • 31   Or what king going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
    • 32   Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an embassy, and desireth conditions of peace.
    • 33   So likewise, whoever he is of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
    • 34   Salt [is] good: but if the salt hath lost its savor, with what shall it be seasoned?
    • 35   It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill, [but] men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

    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.
