    Acts 13
    • 1   Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
    • 2   As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.
    • 3   And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
    • 4   So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed to Seleucia; and from there they sailed to Cyprus.
    • 5   And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.
    • 6   And when they had gone through the isle to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:
    • 7   Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
    • 8   But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
    • 9   Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him.
    • 10   And said, O full of all subtlety and all mischief, you child of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
    • 11   And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
    • 12   Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
    • 13   Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.
    • 14   But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
    • 15   And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, You men and brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
    • 16   Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and you that fear God, give audience.
    • 17   The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelled as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.
    • 18   And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
    • 19   And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
    • 20   And after that he gave to them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
    • 21   And afterward they desired a king: and God gave to them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.
    • 22   And when he had removed him, he raised up to them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, which shall fulfill all my will.
    • 23   Of this man's seed has God according to his promise raised to Israel a Savior, Jesus:
    • 24   When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
    • 25   And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think you that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there comes one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.
    • 26   Men and brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and whoever among you fears God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
    • 27   For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
    • 28   And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
    • 29   And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulcher.
    • 30   But God raised him from the dead:
    • 31   And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
    • 32   And we declare to you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made to the fathers,
    • 33   God has fulfilled the same to us their children, in that he has raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, You are my Son, this day have I begotten you.
    • 34   And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.
    • 35   Why he says also in another psalm, You shall not suffer your Holy One to see corruption.
    • 36   For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid to his fathers, and saw corruption:
    • 37   But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
    • 38   Be it known to you therefore, men and brothers, that through this man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins:
    • 39   And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
    • 40   Beware therefore, lest that come on you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
    • 41   Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it to you.
    • 42   And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles sought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
    • 43   Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
    • 44   And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
    • 45   But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spoke against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
    • 46   Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing you put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, see, we turn to the Gentiles.
    • 47   For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set you to be a light of the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.
    • 48   And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
    • 49   And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.
    • 50   But the Jews stirred up the devout and honorable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.
    • 51   But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
    • 52   And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
    • 1   Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

    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.
