The full publication title is The Holy Scriptures According to the Masoretic Text: A New Translation with the Aid of Previous Versions and with Constant Consultation of Jewish Authorities.\n\nThe translation, which appeared in 1917, is heavily indebted to the Revised Version and American Standard Version. It differs from them in many passages where Jewish and Christian interpretations differ, notably in Isaiah 7:14, where it has \"young woman\" as opposed to the word \"virgin\" which is used in most Christian Bibles.\n\nThe translation was initiated in 1892 by the Central Conference of American Rabbis, the organization of Reform rabbis, and the original intention was to assign different books of the Bible to individual rabbis and scholars. A committee of editors would ensure quality and consistency. It became clear after several years that this method was hard to implement, and after more than a decade only the Book of Psalms had been sent to press. In 1908 the Jewish Publication Society agreed to take over the project.","source":"Wikipedia","sourceUrl":"https:\/\/korenpub.com\/products\/the-koren-tanakhhardcoverstandard"},"languageCode":"en","license":"Public Domain","licenseUrl":null}},"collection":0,"collectionName":"Tanakh","reference":"Hôshēa 11:3","referenceLong":"Hôshēa (Hosea) 11:3","readingUrl":"https:\/\/devotionalium.com\/read\/version\/jps\/book\/28\/chapter\/11\/highlight\/11:3","readingData":{"bookNumber":28,"startChapter":11,"endChapter":11,"startVerse":null,"endVerse":null,"highlight":"11:3"},"errors":[]},"1":{"book":"Matthew","bookNumber":40,"chapter":11,"startChapter":11,"endChapter":11,"verses":[2,3,4,5],"startVerse":2,"endVerse":5,"text":"Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples and said to him, \"Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?\" Jesus answered them, \"Go and tell John the things which you hear and see: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.","textOriginal":"Ὁ δὲ Ἰωάννης ἀκούσας ἐν τῷ δεσμωτηρίῳ τὰ ἔργα τοῦ Χριστοῦ πέμψας διὰ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, σὺ εἶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἢ ἕτερον προσδοκῶμεν; καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, πορευθέντες ἀπαγγείλατε Ἰωάννῃ ἃ ἀκούετε καὶ βλέπετε· τυφλοὶ ἀναβλέπουσιν καὶ χωλοὶ περιπατοῦσιν, λεπροὶ καθαρίζονται καὶ κωφοὶ ἀκούουσιν, καὶ νεκροὶ ἐγείρονται καὶ πτωχοὶ εὐαγγελίζονται·","version":{"id":"web","name":"World English Bible","title":"World English Bible","language":"en","isQuran":false,"isTanakh":false,"isOldTestament":true,"isNewTestament":true,"details":{"author":"Michael Johnson","title":"World English Bible","year":"1997","description":{"content":"The World English Bible (WEB) is a Public Domain (no copyright) Modern English translation of the Holy Bible. That means that you may freely copy it in any form, including electronic and print formats. The World English Bible is based on the American Standard Version of the Holy Bible first published in 1901, the Biblia Hebraica Stutgartensa Old Testament, and the Greek Majority Text New Testament. The companion Deuterocanon\/Apocrypha is derived from the Revised Version Apocrypha and the Brenton translation of the Septuagint into English. It is in draft form, and currently being edited for accuracy and readability. The 66 books of the Old and New Testaments are essentially completed, although some proofreading comments are still being accepted when they improve accuracy, readability, and consistency. The Deuterocanon\/Apocrypha still contains some archaic grammar that will be revised. For more information, please see the World English Bible Frequently Asked Questions and the legal and status page.\n\nThe World English Bible British Edition is the same as the World English Bible, except (1) God's Proper Name in the Old Testament is translated \"LORD\" or \"GOD\" (all capitals) instead of \"Yahweh\", and (2) British spelling instead of American spelling is used. We avoid words and phrases that have different meaning in these two dialects, and use punctuation acceptable for both. It is our hope that picking the version that uses the spelling conventions of your own country will lead to smoother reading with fewer distractions due to spelling differences.","source":"worldenglish.bible","sourceUrl":"https:\/\/worldenglish.bible"},"languageCode":"en","license":"Public Domain","licenseUrl":null}},"collection":2,"collectionName":"New Testament","reference":"Matthew 11:2–5","referenceLong":"Matthew 11:2–5","readingUrl":"https:\/\/devotionalium.com\/read\/version\/web\/book\/40\/chapter\/11\/highlight\/11:2,11:3,11:4,11:5","readingData":{"bookNumber":40,"startChapter":11,"endChapter":11,"startVerse":null,"endVerse":null,"highlight":"11:2,11:3,11:4,11:5"},"errors":[]},"2":{"book":"","bookNumber":null,"chapter":34,"startChapter":34,"endChapter":34,"verses":[1],"startVerse":1,"endVerse":1,"text":"Praise belongs to God to whom belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth.

First published in 1955, it is one of the most prominent written by a non-Muslim scholar. The title acknowledges the orthodox Islamic view that the Qur'an cannot be translated, merely interpreted.\n\nKhaleel Mohammed writes that \"the translation is without prejudice and is probably the best around,\" while M. A. S. Abdel Haleem, himself a translator of the Qur'an, writes that:\n\n\"Arberry shows great respect towards the language of the Qur'an, particularly its musical effects. His careful observation of Arabic sentence structure and phraseology makes his translation very close to the Arabic original in grammatical terms ... [however] this feature, along with the lack of any notes or comments, can make the text seem difficult to understand and confusingly unidiomatic.\"\n\nOriginally published in two volumes, the first containing Quranic chapters (suwar) 1-20, the second containing 21-114, the text continues to be printed to this day, normally in one single volume.","source":"Wikipedia","sourceUrl":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Koran_Interpreted"},"languageCode":"en","license":"Public Domain","licenseUrl":null}},"collection":3,"collectionName":"Quran","reference":"Saba’ 1","referenceLong":"Saba’ (Surah 34) 1","readingUrl":"https:\/\/devotionalium.com\/read\/version\/arberry\/hizb\/43\/highlight\/34:1","readingData":{"bookNumber":null,"startChapter":33,"endChapter":34,"startVerse":31,"endVerse":23,"highlight":"34:1"},"errors":[]}}
