    Mark 4
    • 1   And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
    • 2   And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
    • 3   Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
    • 4   And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
    • 5   And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
    • 6   But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
    • 7   And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
    • 8   And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
    • 9   And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
    • 10   And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
    • 11   And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
    • 12   That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
    • 13   And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
    • 14   The sower soweth the word.
    • 15   And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
    • 16   And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
    • 17   And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.
    • 18   And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
    • 19   And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
    • 20   And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
    • 21   And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
    • 22   For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
    • 23   If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
    • 24   And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
    • 25   For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
    • 26   And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
    • 27   And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
    • 28   For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
    • 29   But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
    • 30   And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
    • 31   It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
    • 32   But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
    • 33   And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.
    • 34   But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
    • 35   And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
    • 36   And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
    • 37   And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
    • 38   And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
    • 39   And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
    • 40   And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
    • 41   And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey 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.
