I had a friend inquire about doing some analysis of just Jesus' words from the New Testament. The analysis he wants done is fairly simple, but the challenge I am finding is the source text.
Does anyone know of a free download of just the text of Jesus' words? It would be like a red-letter edition with just the red letters. ;-) Plain text would be perfect, but other accessible formats would be fine. Short of that, anyone have a suggestion for how to programmatically extract just his words from an existing textual source? Thanks.
I think the ESV API has an option for the words of Christ in red. You could even get the Crossway XML output format with that option turned on, and then extract all of the words marked up as such. Otherwise you could scrape the HTML format.

Find a red letter text online. Paste the gospels into one HTML page and add JQuery. Depending in how the text is marked up, use something like $('font[color="#880000"]') to select the red sections and then loop through, copying them to DIVs at the end (or wherever you want them).

eBible.org is back from the dead, now. Sorry about that. I was fighting a security issue on the server, and it turns out that it is hard to move 108 domains quickly from one machine to another without somebody noticing something amiss. If eBible.org glitches like that again, please email me directly. For a limited time, the same file can be downloaded from the old server at http://old.mpj.us/web/eng-web_usfx.zip if the new one disappears again.

I forgot to mention this, and I suppose I should update the READE me in the repo: you have to download the stopwords corpus from nltk in order for the script to run. Just open python in the terminal and do "import nltk" followed by "nltk.download()" this will bring up a GUI for downloading the various corpora which NLTK provides, including the English stopwords.
