WORD Research this...Acts 10
- 1 There was a certain man in Cesarea, called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian [band],
- 2 [A] devout [man], and one that feared God with all his house, who gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always.
- 3 He saw in a vision evidently, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to him, and saying to him, Cornelius.
- 4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thy alms are come up for a memorial before God.
- 5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for [one] Simon, whose surname is Peter:
- 6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea-side: he will tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
- 7 And when the angel who spoke to Cornelius had departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
- 8 And when he had declared all [these] things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
- 9 On the morrow, as they were going on their journey, and drew nigh to the city, Peter went up upon the house-top to pray, about the sixth hour:
- 10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
- 11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending to him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
- 12 In which were all manner of four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping animals, and fowls of the air.
- 13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
- 14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
- 15 And the voice [spoke] to him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
- 16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received again into heaven.
- 17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men who were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and were standing before the gate,
- 18 And called, and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, lodged there.
- 19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee.
- 20 Arise therefore, and go down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
- 21 Then Peter went down to the men who were sent to him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what [is] the cause for which ye have come?
- 22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by a holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words from thee.
- 23 Then he called them in, and lodged [them]. And on the morrow Peter went with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
- 24 And on the morrow they entered into Cesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
- 25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshiped [him].
- 26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up: I myself also am a man.
- 27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that had come together.
- 28 And he said to them, Ye know that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come to one of another nation; but God hath shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
- 29 Therefore I came [to you] without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?
- 30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
- 31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
- 32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he lodgeth in the house of [one] Simon a tanner, by the sea-side: who, when he cometh, will speak to thee.
- 33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou hast come. Now therefore we are all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee from God.
- 34 Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, In truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
- 35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
- 36 The word which [God] sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
- 37 That word, [I say], ye know, which was published throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
- 38 That God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him.
- 39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did, both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree.
- 40 Him God raised the third day, and showed him openly;
- 41 Not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, [even] to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
- 42 And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who was ordained by God [to be] the Judge of the living and the dead.
- 43 To him give all the prophets testimony, that through his name whoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
- 44 While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them who heard the word.
- 45 And they of the circumcision who believed, were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit.
- 46 For they heard them speak in languages and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
- 47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?
- 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they requested him to tarry certain days.

Webster Bible Electronic Format.
PUBLIC DOMAIN
February 1992
Beginning in July of 1991 the task of placing the Webster Bible text in electronic format began. The original purpose was to provide Larry Pierce, who produces the On-Line Bible program, with a more modern *public domain* text, similar in content and style to the AV but with a grammar that would provide better comprehension in todays English.
I plan on maintaining an accurate copy of the Webster text. Anyone finding an error should contact me; Anyone desiring to obtain the latest, most correct text, can find it on the Bible Foundation BBS, or can contact me in the following methods:

I would like to thank the Bible Foundation not only for scanning nearly the entire Webster Bible but for encouraging me to undertake this monumental work; particularly around page 20 when I realized what I had gotten myself into. Special thanks to Jerry Kingery of the Bible Foundation for scanning, and Jerry Hastings for doing some preliminary scan cleaning and making the texts available on the BBS.- Direction: LTR

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.
