    Matthew 20
    • 1   For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
    • 2   And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
    • 3   And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
    • 4   And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
    • 5   Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
    • 6   And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
    • 7   They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.
    • 8   So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
    • 9   And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
    • 10   But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
    • 11   And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,
    • 12   Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.
    • 13   But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
    • 14   Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
    • 15   Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
    • 16   So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
    • 17   And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,
    • 18   Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,
    • 19   And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.
    • 20   Then came to him the mother of Zebedee’s children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.
    • 21   And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.
    • 22   But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.
    • 23   And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.
    • 24   And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
    • 25   But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
    • 26   But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
    • 27   And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
    • 28   Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
    • 29   And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
    • 30   And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.
    • 31   And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.
    • 32   And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?
    • 33   They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
    • 34   So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed 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.
