    Acts 10
    •   There was a certain man in Cesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
    •   A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
    •   He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
    •   And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
    •   And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:
    •   He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
    •   And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
    •   And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.
    •   On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
    • 10   And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
    • 11   And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
    • 12   Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
    • 13   And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
    • 14   But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
    • 15   And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
    • 16   This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
    • 17   Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before the gate,
    • 18   And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
    • 19   While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
    • 20   Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
    • 21   Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?
    • 22   And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
    • 23   Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
    • 24   And the morrow after they entered into Cesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
    • 25   And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
    • 26   But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
    • 27   And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
    • 28   And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
    • 29   Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?
    • 30   And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
    • 31   And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
    • 32   Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.
    • 33   Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
    • 34   Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
    • 35   But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
    • 36   The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
    • 37   That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
    • 38   How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
    • 39   And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
    • 40   Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
    • 41   Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
    • 42   And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
    • 43   To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
    • 44   While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
    • 45   And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
    • 46   For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
    • 47   Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
    • 48   And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

  • King James Version (kjv - 3.1)

    2023-07-19

    English (en)

    This is the King James Version of the Holy Bible (also known as the Authorized Version) with embedded Strong's Numbers. The rights to the base text are held by the Crown of England.
    The Strong's numbers in the OT were obtained from The Bible Foundation: http://www.bf.org. The NT Strong's data was obtained from The KJV2003 Project at CrossWire: http://www.crosswire.org. These mechanisms provide a useful means for looking up the exact original language word in a lexicon that is keyed to Strong's numbers.

    Special thanks to the volunteers at Bible Foundation for keying the Hebrew/English data and of Project KJV2003 for working toward the completion of synchronizing the English phrases to the Stephanas Textus Receptus, and to Dr. Maurice Robinson for providing the base Greek text with Strong's and Morphology.
    We are also appreciative of formatting markup that was provided by Michael Paul Johnson at http://www.ebible.org. Their time and generosity to contribute such for the free use of the Body of Christ is a great blessing and this derivitive work could not have been possible without these efforts of so many individuals.
    Version 3.1 incorporates a more recent set of TR data from Dr. Maurice Robinson than was used in all the earlier versions. The TR data was obtained in 2016 from the Greek New Testament sources website
    https://sites.google.com/a/wmail.fi/greeknt/home/greeknt
    This was integrated into the OSIS source files of an intermediate version 2.9a hosted at
    https://www.crosswire.org/~dmsmith/kjv2011/kjv2.9a/
    It is in this spirit that we in turn offer the KJV2003 Project text freely for any purpose.
    Any copyright that might be obtained for this effort is held by CrossWire Bible Society © 2003-2023 and CrossWire Bible Society hereby grants a general public license to use this text for any purpose.

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.
