    Luke 15
    • 1   Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
    • 2   And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
    • 3   And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
    • 4   What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
    • 5   And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
    • 6   And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
    • 7   I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
    • 8   Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
    • 9   And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
    • 10   Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
    • 11   And he said, A certain man had two sons:
    • 12   And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
    • 13   And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
    • 14   And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
    • 15   And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
    • 16   And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
    • 17   And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
    • 18   I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
    • 19   And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
    • 20   And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
    • 21   And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
    • 22   But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
    • 23   And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
    • 24   For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
    • 25   Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
    • 26   And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
    • 27   And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
    • 28   And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
    • 29   And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
    • 30   But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
    • 31   And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
    • 32   It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

  • 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.
