WORD Research this...Acts 1
- 1 I have given an earlier account, O Theophilus, of all the things which Jesus did, and of his teaching from the first,
- 2 Till the day when he was taken up to heaven after he had given his orders, through the Holy Spirit, to the Apostles of whom he had made selection:
- 3 And to whom he gave clear and certain signs that he was living, after his death; for he was seen by them for forty days, and gave them teaching about the kingdom of God:
- 4 And when they were all together, with him, he gave them orders not to go away from Jerusalem, but to keep there, waiting till the word of the Father was put into effect, of which, he said, I have given you knowledge:
- 5 For the baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit, after a little time.
- 6 So, when they were together, they said to him, Lord, will you at this time give back the kingdom to Israel?
- 7 And he said to them, It is not for you to have knowledge of the time and the order of events which the Father has kept in his control.
- 8 But you will have power, when the Holy Spirit has come on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judaea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
- 9 And when he had said these things, while they were looking, he was taken up, and went from their view into a cloud.
- 10 And while they were looking up to heaven with great attention, two men came to them, in white clothing,
- 11 And said, O men of Galilee, why are you looking up into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken from you into heaven, will come again, in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.
- 12 Then they went back to Jerusalem from the mountain named Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
- 13 And when they came in, they went up into the room where they were living; Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James, the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas, the son of James.
- 14 And they all with one mind gave themselves up to prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
- 15 And in those days Peter got up among the brothers (there were about one hundred and twenty of them), and said,
- 16 My brothers, the word of God had to be put into effect, which the Holy Spirit had said before, by the mouth of David, about Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus,
- 17 For he was numbered among us, and had his part in our work.
- 18 (Now this man, with the reward of his evil-doing, got for himself a field, and falling head first, came to a sudden and violent end there.
- 19 And this came to the knowledge of all those who were living in Jerusalem, so that the field was named in their language, Akel-dama, or, The field of blood.)
- 20 For in the book of Psalms it says, Let his house be waste, and let no man be living in it: and, Let his position be taken by another.
- 21 For this reason, of the men who have been with us all the time, while the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
- 22 Starting from the baptism of John till he went up from us, one will have to be a witness with us of his coming back from death.
- 23 And they made selection of two, Joseph, named Barsabbas, whose other name was Justus, and Matthias.
- 24 And they made prayers and said, Lord, having knowledge of the hearts of all men, make clear which of these two has been marked out by you,
- 25 To take that position as a servant and Apostle, from which Judas by his sin was shut out, so that he might go to his place.
- 26 And they put it to the decision of chance, and the decision was given for Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven Apostles.

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.
