WORD Research this...Acts 1
- 1 The former treatise I made, O Theophilus, of all things which Jesus began to do and to teach,
- 2 Until the day on which, giving commandments by the Holy Ghost to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up.
- 3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion, by many proofs, for forty days appearing to them, and speaking of the kingdom of God.
- 4 And eating together with them, he commanded them, that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but should wait for the promise of the Father, which you have heard (saith he) by my mouth.
- 5 For John indeed baptized with water: but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost, not many days hence.
- 6 They therefore who were come together, asked him, saying: Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom of Israel?
- 7 But he said to them: It is not for you to know the time or moments, which the Father hath put in his own power:
- 8 But you shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you, and you shall be witnesses unto me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the uttermost part of the earth.
- 9 And when he had said these things, while they looked on, he was raised up: and a cloud received him out of their sight.
- 10 And while they were beholding him going up to heaven, behold two men stood by them in white garments.
- 11 Who also said: Ye men of Galilee, why stand you looking up to heaven? This Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come as you have seen him going into heaven.
- 12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount that is called Olivet, which is nigh Jerusalem, within a sabbath day's journey.
- 13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alpheus and Simon Zelotes and Jude the brother of James.
- 14 All these were persevering with one mind in prayer with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
- 15 In those days Peter rising up in the midst of the brethren, said (now the number of persons together was about an hundred and twenty):
- 16 Men, brethren, the scripture must needs be fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was the leader of them that apprehended Jesus:
- 17 Who was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
- 18 And he indeed hath possessed a field of the reward of iniquity, and being hanged, burst asunder in the midst: and all his bowels gushed out.
- 19 And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so that the same field was called in their tongue, Haceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
- 20 For it is written in the book of Psalms: Let their habitation become desolate, and let there be none to dwell therein. And his bishopric let another take.
- 21 Wherefore of these men who have companied with us, all the time that the Lord Jesus came in and went out among us,
- 22 Beginning from the baptism of John, until the day wherein he was taken up from us, one of these must be made a witness with us of his resurrection.
- 23 And they appointed two, Joseph, called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
- 24 And praying, they said: Thou, Lord, who knowest the heart of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,
- 25 To take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas hath by transgression fallen, that he might go to his own place.
- 26 And they gave them lot, and the lot fell upon 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.
