    Matthew 22
    •   Again Jesus spoke to them in figurative language.
    •   "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "may be compared to a king who celebrated the marriage of his son,
    •   and sent his servants to call the invited guests to the wedding, but they were unwilling to come.
    •   "Again he sent other servants with a message to those who were invited. "`My breakfast is now ready," he said, `my bullocks and fat cattle are killed, and every preparation is made: come to the wedding.'
    •   "They however gave no heed, but went, one to his home in the country, another to his business;
    •   and the rest seized the king's servants, maltreated them, and murdered them.
    •   So the king's anger was stirred, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burnt their city.
    •   Then he said to his servants, "`The wedding banquet is ready, but those who were invited were unworthy of it.
    •   Go out therefore to the crossroads, and everybody you meet invite to the wedding.'
    • 10   "So they went out into the roads and gathered together all they could find, both bad and good, and the banqueting hall was filled with guests.
    • 11   "Now the king came in to see the guests; and among them he discovered one who was not wearing a wedding-robe.
    • 12   "`My friend,' he said, `how is it that you came in here without a wedding robe?'
    • 13   "The man stood speechless. Then the king said to the servants, "`Bind him hand and foot and fling him into the darkness outside: there will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth.'
    • 14   "For there are many called, but few chosen."
    • 15   Then the Pharisees went and consulted together how they might entrap Him in His conversation.
    • 16   So they sent to Him their disciples together with the Herodians; who said, "Teacher, we know that you are truthful and that you faithfully teach God's truth; and that no fear of man misleads you, for you are not biased by men's wealth or rank.
    • 17   Give us your judgement therefore: is it allowable for us to pay a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?"
    • 18   Perceiving their wickedness, Jesus replied, "Why are you hypocrites trying to ensnare me?
    • 19   Show me the tribute coin." And they brought Him a shilling.
    • 20   "Whose likeness and inscription," He asked, "is this?"
    • 21   "Caesar's," they replied. "Pay therefore," He rejoined, "what is Caesar's to Caesar; and what is God's to God."
    • 22   They heard this, and were astonished; then left Him, and went their way.
    • 23   On the same day a party of Sadducees came to Him, contending that there is no resurrection. And they put this case to Him.
    • 24   "Teacher," they said, "Moses enjoined, `If a man die childless, his brother shall marry his widow, and raise up a family for him.'
    • 25   Now we had among us seven brothers. The eldest of them married, but died childless, leaving his wife to his brother.
    • 26   So also did the second and the third, down to the seventh,
    • 27   till the woman also died, after surviving them all.
    • 28   At the Resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? for they all married her."
    • 29   The reply of Jesus was, "You are in error, through ignorance of the Scriptures and of the power of God.
    • 30   For in the Resurrection, men neither marry nor are women given in marriage, but they are like angels in Heaven.
    • 31   But as to the Resurrection of the dead, have you never read what God says to you,
    • 32   `I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of dead, but of living men."
    • 33   All the crowd heard this, and were filled with amazement at His teaching.
    • 34   Now the Pharisees came up when they heard that He had silenced the Sadducees,
    • 35   and one of them, an expounder of the Law, asked Him as a test question,
    • 36   "Teacher, which is the greatest Commandment in the Law?"
    • 37   "`Thou shalt love the Lord thy God,'" He answered, "`with thy whole heart, thy whole soul, thy whole mind.'
    • 38   This is the greatest and foremost Commandment.
    • 39   And the second is similar to it: `Thou shalt love thy fellow man as much as thyself.'
    • 40   The whole of the Law and the Prophets is summed up in these two Commandments."
    • 41   While the Pharisees were still assembled there, Jesus put a question to them.
    • 42   "What think you about the Christ," He said, "whose son is He?" "David's," they replied.
    • 43   "How then," He asked, "does David, taught by the Spirit, call Him Lord, when he says,
    • 44   "`The Lord said to my Lord, sit at My right hand until I have put thy foes beneath thy feet'?
    • 45   "If therefore David calls Him Lord, how can He be his son?"
    • 46   No one could say a word in reply, nor from that day did any one venture again to put a question to 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.
