WORD Research this...Luke 12
- 1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, so that they stepped one on another, he began to say to his disciples first of all, Beware you of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
- 2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
- 3 Therefore whatever you have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which you have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed on the housetops.
- 4 And I say to you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
- 5 But I will forewarn you whom you shall fear: Fear him, which after he has killed has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, Fear him.
- 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
- 7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows.
- 8 Also I say to you, Whoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
- 9 But he that denies me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
- 10 And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him that blasphemes against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
- 11 And when they bring you to the synagogues, and to magistrates, and powers, take you no thought how or what thing you shall answer, or what you shall say:
- 12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what you ought to say. ¶
- 13 And one of the company said to him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
- 14 And he said to him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
- 15 And he said to them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consists not in the abundance of the things which he possesses.
- 16 And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
- 17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
- 18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
- 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have much goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
- 20 But God said to him, You fool, this night your soul shall be required of you: then whose shall those things be, which you have provided?
- 21 So is he that lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. ¶
- 22 And he said to his disciples, Therefore I say to you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat; neither for the body, what you shall put on.
- 23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
- 24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them: how much more are you better than the fowls?
- 25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
- 26 If you then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take you thought for the rest?
- 27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say to you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
- 28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
- 29 And seek not you what you shall eat, or what you shall drink, neither be you of doubtful mind.
- 30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knows that you have need of these things. ¶
- 31 But rather seek you the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added to you.
- 32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
- 33 Sell that you have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that fails not, where no thief approaches, neither moth corrupts.
- 34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
- 35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
- 36 And you yourselves like to men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately.
- 37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he comes shall find watching: truly I say to you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
- 38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
- 39 And this know, that if the manager of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
- 40 Be you therefore ready also: for the Son of man comes at an hour when you think not. ¶
- 41 Then Peter said to him, Lord, speak you this parable to us, or even to all?
- 42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
- 43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing.
- 44 Of a truth I say to you, that he will make him ruler over all that he has.
- 45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delays his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
- 46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looks not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
- 47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
- 48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For to whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. ¶
- 49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
- 50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
- 51 Suppose you that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, No; but rather division:
- 52 For from now on there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
- 53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. ¶
- 54 And he said also to the people, When you see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway you say, There comes a shower; and so it is.
- 55 And when you see the south wind blow, you say, There will be heat; and it comes to pass.
- 56 You hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that you do not discern this time?
- 57 Yes, and why even of yourselves judge you not what is right? ¶
- 58 When you go with your adversary to the magistrate, as you are in the way, give diligence that you may be delivered from him; lest he hale you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer cast you into prison.
- 59 I tell you, you shall not depart there, till you have paid the very last mite.
- 1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, so that they stepped one on another, he began to say to his disciples first of all, Beware you of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
- 2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

American King James Version (akjv - 2.1)
2023-12-27English (en)
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.
