    Acts 5
    •   But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
    •   And kept back [part] of the price, (his wife also being privy [to it]) and brought a certain part, and laid [it] at the apostles' feet.
    •   But Peter said, Ananias, Why hath Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back [part] of the price of the land?
    •   While it remained, was it not thy own? and after it was sold, was it not in thy own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? thou hast not lied to men, but to God.
    •   And Ananias hearing these words, fell down, and expired. And great fear came on all them that heard these things.
    •   And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried [him] out, and buried [him].
    •   And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
    •   And Peter answered to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yes, for so much.
    •   Then Peter said to her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold the feet of them who have buried thy husband [are] at the door, and shall carry thee out.
    • 10   Then she fell down immediately at his feet, and expired. And the young men came in, and found her dead, and carrying [her] forth, buried [her] by her husband.
    • 11   And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.
    • 12   And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
    • 13   And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.
    • 14   And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
    • 15   So that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid [them] on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
    • 16   There came also a multitude [out] of the cities around to Jerusalem, bringing sick persons, and them who were afflicted with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
    • 17   Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him; (which is the sect of the Sadducees) and were filled with indignation,
    • 18   And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
    • 19   But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison-doors, and brought them forth, and said,
    • 20   Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
    • 21   And when they heard [that], they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
    • 22   But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told,
    • 23   Saying, The prison truly we found shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
    • 24   Now when the high priest, and the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them to what this would grow.
    • 25   Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
    • 26   Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.
    • 27   And when they had brought them, they set [them] before the council: and the high priest asked them,
    • 28   Saying, Did we not strictly command you, that ye should not teach in this name? and behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.
    • 29   Then Peter and the [other] apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
    • 30   The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree:
    • 31   Him hath God exalted with his right hand [to be] a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
    • 32   And we are his witnesses of these things; and [so is] also the Holy Spirit, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
    • 33   When they heard [that], they were cut [to the heart], and took counsel to slay them.
    • 34   Then stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little time.
    • 35   And said to them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do concerning these men:
    • 36   For before these days rose Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to naught.
    • 37   After this man rose Judas of Galilee, in the days of the taxing, and drew away many people after him: he also perished; and all, [even] as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
    • 38   And now I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work is from men, it will come to naught:
    • 39   But if it is from God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
    • 40   And to him they assented: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten [them], they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
    • 41   And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
    • 42   And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

    Webster Bible Electronic Format.
    PUBLIC DOMAIN

    February 1992

    Beginning in July of 1991 the task of placing the Webster Bible text in electronic format began. The original purpose was to provide Larry Pierce, who produces the On-Line Bible program, with a more modern *public domain* text, similar in content and style to the AV but with a grammar that would provide better comprehension in todays English.

    I plan on maintaining an accurate copy of the Webster text. Anyone finding an error should contact me; Anyone desiring to obtain the latest, most correct text, can find it on the Bible Foundation BBS, or can contact me in the following methods:

    I would like to thank the Bible Foundation not only for scanning nearly the entire Webster Bible but for encouraging me to undertake this monumental work; particularly around page 20 when I realized what I had gotten myself into. Special thanks to Jerry Kingery of the Bible Foundation for scanning, and Jerry Hastings for doing some preliminary scan cleaning and making the texts available on the BBS.

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.
