    Mark 12
    •   And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
    •   And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
    •   And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
    •   And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
    •   And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
    •   Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
    •   But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
    •   And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
    •   What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
    • 10   And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
    • 11   This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
    • 12   And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.
    • 13   And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.
    • 14   And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Cesar, or not?
    • 15   Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.
    • 16   And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Cesar’s.
    • 17   And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Cesar the things that are Cesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they marvelled at him.
    • 18   Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
    • 19   Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man’s brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
    • 20   Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
    • 21   And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
    • 22   And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
    • 23   In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
    • 24   And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
    • 25   For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
    • 26   And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
    • 27   He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
    • 28   And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
    • 29   And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
    • 30   And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
    • 31   And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
    • 32   And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
    • 33   And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
    • 34   And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
    • 35   And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?
    • 36   For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
    • 37   David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
    • 38   And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,
    • 39   And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
    • 40   Which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
    • 41   And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
    • 42   And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
    • 43   And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
    • 44   For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

  • 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.
