    Luke 4
    •   Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness
    •   for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. Afterward, when they were completed, he was hungry.
    •   The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”
    •   Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’”
    •   The devil, leading him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
    •   The devil said to him, “I will give you all this authority, and their glory, for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want.
    •   If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours.”
    •   Jesus answered him, “Get behind me Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’”
    •   He led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here,
    • 10   for it is written, ‘He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you;’
    • 11   and, ‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.’”
    • 12   Jesus answering, said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”
    • 13   When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until another time.
    • 14   Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and news about him spread through all the surrounding area.
    • 15   He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
    • 16   He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. He entered, as was his custom, into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.
    • 17   The book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the book, and found the place where it was written,
    • 18   “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,
    • 19   and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
    • 20   He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.
    • 21   He began to tell them, “Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
    • 22   All testified about him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth, and they said, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”
    • 23   He said to them, “Doubtless you will tell me this parable, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your hometown.’”
    • 24   He said, “Most certainly I tell you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown.
    • 25   But truly I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land.
    • 26   Elijah was sent to none of them, except to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
    • 27   There were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman, the Syrian.”
    • 28   They were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things.
    • 29   They rose up, threw him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill that their city was built on, that they might throw him off the cliff.
    • 30   But he, passing through their midst, went his way.
    • 31   He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. He was teaching them on the Sabbath day,
    • 32   and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.
    • 33   In the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,
    • 34   saying, “Ah! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are: the Holy One of God!”
    • 35   Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” When the demon had thrown him down in their midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm.
    • 36   Amazement came on all, and they spoke together, one with another, saying, “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”
    • 37   News about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.
    • 38   He rose up from the synagogue, and entered into Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a great fever, and they begged him for her.
    • 39   He stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her. Immediately she rose up and served them.
    • 40   When the sun was setting, all those who had any sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
    • 41   Demons also came out of many, crying out, and saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” Rebuking them, he didn’t allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
    • 42   When it was day, he departed and went into an uninhabited place, and the multitudes looked for him, and came to him, and held on to him, so that he wouldn’t go away from them.
    • 43   But he said to them, “I must preach the good news of the Kingdom of God to the other cities also. For this reason I have been sent.”
    • 44   He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

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.
