WORD Research this...Luke 20
- 1 And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came on him with the elders,
- 2 And spoke to him, saying, Tell us, by what authority do you these things? or who is he that gave you this authority?
- 3 And he answered and said to them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
- 4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
- 5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed you him not?
- 6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.
- 7 And they answered, that they could not tell from where it was.
- 8 And Jesus said to them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
- 9 Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to farmers, and went into a far country for a long time.
- 10 And at the season he sent a servant to the farmers, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the farmers beat him, and sent him away empty.
- 11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
- 12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
- 13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.
- 14 But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
- 15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do to them?
- 16 He shall come and destroy these farmers, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
- 17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
- 18 Whoever shall fall on that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. ¶
- 19 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.
- 20 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him to the power and authority of the governor.
- 21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that you say and teach rightly, neither accept you the person of any, but teach the way of God truly:
- 22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or no?
- 23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, Why tempt you me?
- 24 Show me a penny. Whose image and superscription has it? They answered and said, Caesar's.
- 25 And he said to them, Render therefore to Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and to God the things which be God's.
- 26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marveled at his answer, and held their peace. ¶
- 27 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
- 28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote to us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
- 29 There were therefore seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
- 30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
- 31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
- 32 Last of all the woman died also.
- 33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
- 34 And Jesus answering said to them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
- 35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
- 36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
- 37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calls the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
- 38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him. ¶
- 39 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, you have well said.
- 40 And after that they dared not ask him any question at all.
- 41 And he said to them, How say they that Christ is David's son?
- 42 And David himself says in the book of Psalms, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit you on my right hand,
- 43 Till I make your enemies your footstool.
- 44 David therefore calls him Lord, how is he then his son? ¶
- 45 Then in the audience of all the people he said to his disciples,
- 46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
- 47 Which devour widows' houses, and for a show make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
- 1 And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came on him with the elders,
- 2 And spoke to him, saying, Tell us, by what authority do you these things? or who is he that gave you this authority?

- 15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do to them?

- 23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, Why tempt you me?
- 24 Show me a penny. Whose image and superscription has it? They answered and said, Caesar’s.
- 25 And he said to them, Render therefore to Caesar the things which be Caesar’s, and to God the things which be God’s.
- 26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marveled at his answer, and held their peace. ¶

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.
