    Acts 9
    •   And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
    •   And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
    •   And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
    •   And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecute you me?
    •   And he said, Who are you, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom you persecute: it is hard for you to kick against the pricks.
    •   And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what will you have me to do? And the Lord said to him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told you what you must do.
    •   And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
    •   And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
    •   And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
    • 10   And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
    • 11   And the Lord said to him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prays,
    • 12   And has seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
    • 13   Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem:
    • 14   And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on your name.
    • 15   But the Lord said to him, Go your way: for he is a chosen vessel to me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
    • 16   For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
    • 17   And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared to you in the way as you came, has sent me, that you might receive your sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
    • 18   And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight immediately, and arose, and was baptized.
    • 19   And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
    • 20   And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
    • 21   But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came here for that intent, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?
    • 22   But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelled at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
    • 23   And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:
    • 24   But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
    • 25   Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.
    • 26   And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
    • 27   But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
    • 28   And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
    • 29   And he spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
    • 30   Which when the brothers knew, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
    • 31   Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
    • 32   And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelled at Lydda.
    • 33   And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.
    • 34   And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ makes you whole: arise, and make your bed. And he arose immediately.
    • 35   And all that dwelled at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.
    • 36   Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and giving of alms which she did.
    • 37   And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
    • 38   And for as much as Lydda was near to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent to him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.
    • 39   Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
    • 40   But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
    • 41   And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
    • 42   And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
    • 43   And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
    •   And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
    •   And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
    •   And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:

    •   And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what will you have me to do? And the Lord said to him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told you what you must do.
    •   And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
    •   And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

    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.
