    Luke 18
    • 1   And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
    • 2   Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
    • 3   And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
    • 4   And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
    • 5   Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
    • 6   And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
    • 7   And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
    • 8   I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
    • 9   And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
    • 10   Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
    • 11   The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
    • 12   I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
    • 13   And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
    • 14   I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
    • 15   And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
    • 16   But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
    • 17   Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
    • 18   And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
    • 19   And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
    • 20   Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
    • 21   And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
    • 22   Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
    • 23   And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
    • 24   And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
    • 25   For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
    • 26   And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
    • 27   And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
    • 28   Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
    • 29   And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,
    • 30   Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
    • 31   Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
    • 32   For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
    • 33   And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
    • 34   And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
    • 35   And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
    • 36   And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
    • 37   And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
    • 38   And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
    • 39   And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
    • 40   And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
    • 41   Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
    • 42   And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
    • 43   And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

  • 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.
