    Acts 5
    • 1   But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
    • 2   And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
    • 3   But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
    • 4   Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
    • 5   And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
    • 6   And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
    • 7   And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
    • 8   And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
    • 9   Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
    • 10   Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.
    • 11   And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.
    • 12   And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
    • 13   And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.
    • 14   And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
    • 15   Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
    • 16   There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
    • 17   Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,
    • 18   And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
    • 19   But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,
    • 20   Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
    • 21   And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
    • 22   But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told,
    • 23   Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
    • 24   Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.
    • 25   Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
    • 26   Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.
    • 27   And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,
    • 28   Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.
    • 29   Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
    • 30   The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
    • 31   Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
    • 32   And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
    • 33   When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.
    • 34   Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;
    • 35   And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.
    • 36   For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
    • 37   After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
    • 38   And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
    • 39   But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
    • 40   And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
    • 41   And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
    • 42   And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

  • King James Version (kjv - 3.1)

    2023-07-19

    English (en)

    This is the King James Version of the Holy Bible (also known as the Authorized Version) with embedded Strong's Numbers. The rights to the base text are held by the Crown of England.
    The Strong's numbers in the OT were obtained from The Bible Foundation: http://www.bf.org. The NT Strong's data was obtained from The KJV2003 Project at CrossWire: http://www.crosswire.org. These mechanisms provide a useful means for looking up the exact original language word in a lexicon that is keyed to Strong's numbers.

    Special thanks to the volunteers at Bible Foundation for keying the Hebrew/English data and of Project KJV2003 for working toward the completion of synchronizing the English phrases to the Stephanas Textus Receptus, and to Dr. Maurice Robinson for providing the base Greek text with Strong's and Morphology.
    We are also appreciative of formatting markup that was provided by Michael Paul Johnson at http://www.ebible.org. Their time and generosity to contribute such for the free use of the Body of Christ is a great blessing and this derivitive work could not have been possible without these efforts of so many individuals.
    Version 3.1 incorporates a more recent set of TR data from Dr. Maurice Robinson than was used in all the earlier versions. The TR data was obtained in 2016 from the Greek New Testament sources website
    https://sites.google.com/a/wmail.fi/greeknt/home/greeknt
    This was integrated into the OSIS source files of an intermediate version 2.9a hosted at
    https://www.crosswire.org/~dmsmith/kjv2011/kjv2.9a/
    It is in this spirit that we in turn offer the KJV2003 Project text freely for any purpose.
    Any copyright that might be obtained for this effort is held by CrossWire Bible Society © 2003-2023 and CrossWire Bible Society hereby grants a general public license to use this text for any purpose.

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.
