    Luke 11
    •   When he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”
    •   He said to them, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
    •   Give us day by day our daily bread.
    •   Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”
    •   He said to them, “Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight, and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
    •   for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’
    •   and he from within will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it to you’?
    •   I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.
    •   “I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.
    • 10   For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
    • 11   “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
    • 12   Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?
    • 13   If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
    • 14   He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled.
    • 15   But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
    • 16   Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
    • 17   But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
    • 18   If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
    • 19   But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore will they be your judges.
    • 20   But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come to you.
    • 21   “When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
    • 22   But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his plunder.
    • 23   “He that is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
    • 24   The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest, and finding none, he says, ‘I will turn back to my house from which I came out.’
    • 25   When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
    • 26   Then he goes, and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
    • 27   It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice, and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!”
    • 28   But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”
    • 29   When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah, the prophet.
    • 30   For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will also the Son of Man be to this generation.
    • 31   The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and will condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one greater than Solomon is here.
    • 32   The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.
    • 33   “No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.
    • 34   The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness.
    • 35   Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.
    • 36   If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light.”
    • 37   Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in, and sat at the table.
    • 38   When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
    • 39   The Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
    • 40   You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?
    • 41   But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
    • 42   But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and the love of God. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
    • 43   Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces.
    • 44   Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”
    • 45   One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”
    • 46   He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
    • 47   Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
    • 48   So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
    • 49   Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute,
    • 50   that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
    • 51   from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.
    • 52   Woe to you lawyers! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”
    • 53   As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him;
    • 54   lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse 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.
