    Acts 10
    •   There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
    •   A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always.
    •   He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying to him, Cornelius.
    •   And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Your prayers and your alms are come up for a memorial before God.
    •   And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:
    •   He lodges with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell you what you ought to do.
    •   And when the angel which spoke to Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
    •   And when he had declared all these things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
    •   On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew near to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
    • 10   And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
    • 11   And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending on him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
    • 12   Wherein were all manner of four footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
    • 13   And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
    • 14   But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
    • 15   And the voice spoke to him again the second time, What God has cleansed, that call not you common.
    • 16   This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
    • 17   Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,
    • 18   And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
    • 19   While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek you.
    • 20   Arise therefore, and get you down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
    • 21   Then Peter went down to the men which were sent to him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom you seek: what is the cause why you are come?
    • 22   And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that fears God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for you into his house, and to hear words of you.
    • 23   Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
    • 24   And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and he had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
    • 25   And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
    • 26   But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
    • 27   And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
    • 28   And he said to them, You know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come to one of another nation; but God has showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
    • 29   Therefore came I to you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent you have sent for me?
    • 30   And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
    • 31   And said, Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
    • 32   Send therefore to Joppa, and call here Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he comes, shall speak to you.
    • 33   Immediately therefore I sent to you; and you have well done that you are come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded you of God.
    • 34   Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
    • 35   But in every nation he that fears him, and works righteousness, is accepted with him.
    • 36   The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
    • 37   That word, I say, you know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
    • 38   How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
    • 39   And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
    • 40   Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly;
    • 41   Not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
    • 42   And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
    • 43   To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whoever believes in him shall receive remission of sins.
    • 44   While Peter yet spoke these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
    • 45   And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
    • 46   For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
    • 47   Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
    • 48   And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

    American King James Version
    Produced by Stone Engelbrite

    This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.

    I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.

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.
