    John 5
    •   After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
    •   Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
    •   In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
    •   For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
    •   And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
    •   When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
    •   The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
    •   Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
    •   And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
    • 10   The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
    • 11   He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
    • 12   Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
    • 13   And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
    • 14   Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
    • 15   The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
    • 16   And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
    • 17   But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
    • 18   Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
    • 19   Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
    • 20   For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
    • 21   For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
    • 22   For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
    • 23   That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
    • 24   Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
    • 25   Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
    • 26   For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
    • 27   And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
    • 28   Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
    • 29   And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
    • 30   I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
    • 31   If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
    • 32   There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
    • 33   Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
    • 34   But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
    • 35   He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
    • 36   But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
    • 37   And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
    • 38   And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
    • 39   Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
    • 40   And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
    • 41   I receive not honour from men.
    • 42   But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
    • 43   I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
    • 44   How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
    • 45   Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
    • 46   For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
    • 47   But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

  • 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.
