    Acts 4
    • 1   And as they spake unto the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,
    • 2   being sore troubled because they taught the people, and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
    • 3   And they laid hands on them, and put them in ward unto the morrow: for it was now eventide.
    • 4   But many of them that heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
    • 5   And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem;
    • 6   and Annas the high priest was there, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest.
    • 7   And when they had set them in the midst, they inquired, By what power, or in what name, have ye done this?
    • 8   Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders,
    • 9   if we this day are examined concerning a good deed done to an impotent man, by what means this man is made whole;
    • 10   be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even in him doth this man stand here before you whole.
    • 11   He is the stone which was set at nought of you the builders, which was made the head of the corner.
    • 12   And in none other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved.
    • 13   Now when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
    • 14   And seeing the man that was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
    • 15   But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
    • 16   saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been wrought through them, is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
    • 17   But that it spread no further among the people, let us threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.
    • 18   And they called them, and charged them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
    • 19   But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken unto you rather than unto God, judge ye:
    • 20   for we cannot but speak the things which we saw and heard.
    • 21   And they, when they had further threatened them, let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people; for all men glorified God for that which was done.
    • 22   For the man was more than forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was wrought.
    • 23   And being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said unto them.
    • 24   And they, when they heard it, lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, O Lord, thou that didst make the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is:
    • 25   who by the Holy Spirit, by the mouth of our father David thy servant, didst say, Why did the Gentiles rage, And the peoples imagine vain things?
    • 26   The kings of the earth set themselves in array, And the rulers were gathered together, Against the Lord, and against his Anointed:
    • 27   for of a truth in this city against thy holy Servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together,
    • 28   to do whatsoever thy hand and thy council foreordained to come to pass.
    • 29   And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants to speak thy word with all boldness,
    • 30   while thou stretchest forth thy hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of thy holy Servant Jesus.
    • 31   And when they had prayed, the place was shaken wherein they were gathered together; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
    • 32   And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and soul: and not oneof themsaid that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
    • 33   And with great power gave the apostles their witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
    • 34   For neither was there among them any that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
    • 35   and laid them at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto each, according as any one had need.
    • 36   And Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of exhortation), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,
    • 37   having a field, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

  • American Standard Version (asv - 2)

    2021-02-18

    English (en)

    The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.

    The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.

    While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.

    Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.

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.
