    Matthew 12
    •   At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungered, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.
    •   But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, Behold, your disciples do that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath day.
    •   But he said to them, Have you not read what David did, when he was an hungered, and they that were with him;
    •   How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?
    •   Or have you not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
    •   But I say to you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
    •   But if you had known what this means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, you would not have condemned the guiltless.
    •   For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
    •   And when he was departed there, he went into their synagogue:
    • 10   And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
    • 11   And he said to them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
    • 12   How much then is a man better than a sheep? Why it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
    • 13   Then says he to the man, Stretch forth your hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.
    • 14   Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
    • 15   But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from there: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
    • 16   And charged them that they should not make him known:
    • 17   That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,
    • 18   Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit on him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles.
    • 19   He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
    • 20   A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment to victory.
    • 21   And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
    • 22   Then was brought to him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, so that the blind and dumb both spoke and saw.
    • 23   And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
    • 24   But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow does not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
    • 25   And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
    • 26   And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
    • 27   And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
    • 28   But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come to you.
    • 29   Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
    • 30   He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathers not with me scatters abroad.
    • 31   Why I say to you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven to men.
    • 32   And whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whoever speaks against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
    • 33   Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
    • 34   O generation of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
    • 35   A good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.
    • 36   But I say to you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
    • 37   For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.
    • 38   Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from you.
    • 39   But he answered and said to them, An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
    • 40   For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
    • 41   The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
    • 42   The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
    • 43   When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.
    • 44   Then he says, I will return into my house from where I came out; and when he is come, he finds it empty, swept, and garnished.
    • 45   Then goes he, and takes with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also to this wicked generation.
    • 46   While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood without, desiring to speak with him.
    • 47   Then one said to him, Behold, your mother and your brothers stand without, desiring to speak with you.
    • 48   But he answered and said to him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brothers?
    • 49   And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brothers!
    • 50   For whoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
    •   At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungered, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.
    •   But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, Behold, your disciples do that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath day.
    •   But he said to them, Have you not read what David did, when he was an hungered, and they that were with him;
    •   How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?
    •   Or have you not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
    •   But I say to you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
    •   But if you had known what this means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, you would not have condemned the guiltless.
    •   For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
    •   And when he was departed there, he went into their synagogue:
    • 10   And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
    • 11   And he said to them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

    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.
