    John 1
    • 1   In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
    • 2   The same was in the beginning with God.
    • 3   All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
    • 4   In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
    • 5   And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
    • 6   There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
    • 7   The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
    • 8   He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
    • 9   That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
    • 10   He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
    • 11   He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
    • 12   But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
    • 13   Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
    • 14   And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
    • 15   John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
    • 16   And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
    • 17   For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
    • 18   No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
    • 19   And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
    • 20   And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
    • 21   And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
    • 22   Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
    • 23   He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
    • 24   And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
    • 25   And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
    • 26   John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
    • 27   He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
    • 28   These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
    • 29   The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
    • 30   This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
    • 31   And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
    • 32   And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
    • 33   And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
    • 34   And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
    • 35   Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
    • 36   And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
    • 37   And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
    • 38   Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
    • 39   He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
    • 40   One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
    • 41   He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
    • 42   And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
    • 43   The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
    • 44   Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
    • 45   Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
    • 46   And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
    • 47   Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
    • 48   Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
    • 49   Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
    • 50   Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
    • 51   And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

  • 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.
