    Luke 21
    •   And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
    •   And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
    •   And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
    •   For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
    •   And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,
    •   As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
    •   And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
    •   And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
    •   But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
    • 10   Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
    • 11   And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
    • 12   But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake.
    • 13   And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
    • 14   Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
    • 15   For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
    • 16   And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
    • 17   And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.
    • 18   But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
    • 19   In your patience possess ye your souls.
    • 20   And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
    • 21   Then let them which are in Judea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
    • 22   For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
    • 23   But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
    • 24   And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
    • 25   And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
    • 26   Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
    • 27   And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
    • 28   And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
    • 29   And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
    • 30   When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
    • 31   So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
    • 32   Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
    • 33   Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
    • 34   And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
    • 35   For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
    • 36   Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
    • 37   And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.
    • 38   And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.

  • 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.
