    Matthew 15
    •   Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
    •   Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
    •   But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
    •   For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
    •   But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
    •   And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
    •   Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
    •   This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
    •   But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
    • 10   And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
    • 11   Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
    • 12   Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
    • 13   But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
    • 14   Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
    • 15   Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
    • 16   And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
    • 17   Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
    • 18   But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
    • 19   For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
    • 20   These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
    • 21   Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
    • 22   And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
    • 23   But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
    • 24   But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
    • 25   Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
    • 26   But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.
    • 27   And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
    • 28   Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
    • 29   And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.
    • 30   And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them:
    • 31   Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
    • 32   Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
    • 33   And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
    • 34   And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
    • 35   And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
    • 36   And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
    • 37   And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.
    • 38   And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.
    • 39   And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.

  • 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.
