    Acts 2
    •   And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
    •   And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
    •   And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
    •   And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
    •   And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
    •   Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
    •   And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galileans?
    •   And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
    •   Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
    • 10   Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
    • 11   Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
    • 12   And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
    • 13   Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
    • 14   But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
    • 15   For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
    • 16   But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
    • 17   And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
    • 18   And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
    • 19   And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
    • 20   The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
    • 21   And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
    • 22   Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
    • 23   Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
    • 24   Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
    • 25   For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
    • 26   Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
    • 27   Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
    • 28   Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
    • 29   Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
    • 30   Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
    • 31   He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
    • 32   This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
    • 33   Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
    • 34   For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
    • 35   Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
    • 36   Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
    • 37   Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
    • 38   Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
    • 39   For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
    • 40   And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
    • 41   Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
    • 42   And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
    • 43   And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
    • 44   And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
    • 45   And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
    • 46   And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
    • 47   Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

  • 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.
