    Matthew 22
    •   And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
    •   The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
    •   And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
    •   Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
    •   But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
    •   And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
    •   But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
    •   Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
    •   Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
    • 10   So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
    • 11   And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
    • 12   And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
    • 13   Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
    • 14   For many are called, but few are chosen.
    • 15   Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.
    • 16   And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.
    • 17   Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Cesar, or not?
    • 18   But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
    • 19   Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
    • 20   And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
    • 21   They say unto him, Cesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Cesar the things which are Cesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.
    • 22   When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
    • 23   The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
    • 24   Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
    • 25   Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:
    • 26   Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
    • 27   And last of all the woman died also.
    • 28   Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
    • 29   Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
    • 30   For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
    • 31   But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
    • 32   I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
    • 33   And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
    • 34   But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
    • 35   Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
    • 36   Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
    • 37   Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
    • 38   This is the first and great commandment.
    • 39   And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
    • 40   On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
    • 41   While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
    • 42   Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.
    • 43   He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
    • 44   The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
    • 45   If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
    • 46   And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

  • 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.
