    John 4
    • 1   When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
    • 2   (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
    • 3   He left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.
    • 4   And he must needs go through Samaria.
    • 5   Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
    • 6   Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
    • 7   There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
    • 8   (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
    • 9   Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
    • 10   Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
    • 11   The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
    • 12   Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
    • 13   Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
    • 14   But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
    • 15   The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
    • 16   Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
    • 17   The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
    • 18   For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
    • 19   The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
    • 20   Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
    • 21   Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
    • 22   Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
    • 23   But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
    • 24   God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
    • 25   The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
    • 26   Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
    • 27   And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
    • 28   The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
    • 29   Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
    • 30   Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
    • 31   In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
    • 32   But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
    • 33   Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
    • 34   Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
    • 35   Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
    • 36   And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
    • 37   And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
    • 38   I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
    • 39   And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
    • 40   So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
    • 41   And many more believed because of his own word;
    • 42   And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
    • 43   Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
    • 44   For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
    • 45   Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
    • 46   So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
    • 47   When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
    • 48   Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
    • 49   The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
    • 50   Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.
    • 51   And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.
    • 52   Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
    • 53   So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.
    • 54   This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea into Galilee.

  • 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.
