    Acts 20
    •   And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called to him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia.
    •   And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,
    •   And there stayed three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.
    •   And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
    •   These going before tarried for us at Troas.
    •   And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them to Troas in five days; where we stayed seven days.
    •   And on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached to them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
    •   And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.
    •   And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.
    • 10   And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
    • 11   When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.
    • 12   And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.
    • 13   And we went before to ship, and sailed to Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot.
    • 14   And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.
    • 15   And we sailed there, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.
    • 16   For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hurried, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
    • 17   And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.
    • 18   And when they were come to him, he said to them, You know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,
    • 19   Serving the LORD with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
    • 20   And how I kept back nothing that was profitable to you, but have showed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,
    • 21   Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
    • 22   And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
    • 23   Save that the Holy Ghost witnesses in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
    • 24   But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear to myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
    • 25   And now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
    • 26   Why I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
    • 27   For I have not shunned to declare to you all the counsel of God.
    • 28   Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost has made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he has purchased with his own blood.
    • 29   For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
    • 30   Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
    • 31   Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
    • 32   And now, brothers, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
    • 33   I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
    • 34   Yes, you yourselves know, that these hands have ministered to my necessities, and to them that were with me.
    • 35   I have showed you all things, how that so laboring you ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
    • 36   And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.
    • 37   And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him,
    • 38   Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spoke, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
    •   And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called to him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia.
    •   And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,
    •   And there stayed three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.

    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.
