    Matthew 9
    •   And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.
    •   And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
    •   And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.
    •   And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
    •   For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?
    •   But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
    •   And he arose, and departed to his house.
    •   But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
    •   And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
    • 10   And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
    • 11   And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
    • 12   But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
    • 13   But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
    • 14   Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
    • 15   And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
    • 16   No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.
    • 17   Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
    • 18   While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
    • 19   And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
    • 20   And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
    • 21   For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
    • 22   But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
    • 23   And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
    • 24   He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
    • 25   But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
    • 26   And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
    • 27   And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.
    • 28   And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
    • 29   Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
    • 30   And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.
    • 31   But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
    • 32   As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
    • 33   And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
    • 34   But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.
    • 35   And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
    • 36   But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
    • 37   Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
    • 38   Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

  • 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.
