    Luke 20
    • 1   And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,
    • 2   And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
    • 3   And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
    • 4   The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
    • 5   And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
    • 6   But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.
    • 7   And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.
    • 8   And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
    • 9   Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.
    • 10   And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.
    • 11   And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
    • 12   And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
    • 13   Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.
    • 14   But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
    • 15   So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
    • 16   He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
    • 17   And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
    • 18   Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
    • 19   And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.
    • 20   And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.
    • 21   And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:
    • 22   Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Cesar, or no?
    • 23   But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
    • 24   Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cesar’s.
    • 25   And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Cesar the things which be Cesar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s.
    • 26   And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
    • 27   Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
    • 28   Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
    • 29   There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
    • 30   And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
    • 31   And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
    • 32   Last of all the woman died also.
    • 33   Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
    • 34   And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
    • 35   But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
    • 36   Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
    • 37   Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
    • 38   For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
    • 39   Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
    • 40   And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.
    • 41   And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David’s son?
    • 42   And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
    • 43   Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
    • 44   David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
    • 45   Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,
    • 46   Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
    • 47   Which devour widows’ houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

  • 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.
