    John 12
    •   Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
    •   There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
    •   Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
    •   Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, which should betray him,
    •   Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
    •   This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
    •   Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
    •   For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
    •   Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
    • 10   But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
    • 11   Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
    • 12   On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
    • 13   Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
    • 14   And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
    • 15   Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.
    • 16   These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
    • 17   The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
    • 18   For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
    • 19   The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
    • 20   And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
    • 21   The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
    • 22   Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
    • 23   And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
    • 24   Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
    • 25   He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
    • 26   If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
    • 27   Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
    • 28   Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
    • 29   The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
    • 30   Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
    • 31   Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
    • 32   And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
    • 33   This he said, signifying what death he should die.
    • 34   The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
    • 35   Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
    • 36   While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
    • 37   But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
    • 38   That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
    • 39   Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
    • 40   He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
    • 41   These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
    • 42   Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
    • 43   For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
    • 44   Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
    • 45   And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
    • 46   I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
    • 47   And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
    • 48   He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
    • 49   For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
    • 50   And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

  • 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.
