    Matthew 12
    • 1   At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
    • 2   But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
    • 3   But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
    • 4   How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?
    • 5   Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
    • 6   But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
    • 7   But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
    • 8   For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
    • 9   And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:
    • 10   And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
    • 11   And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
    • 12   How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
    • 13   Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.
    • 14   Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
    • 15   But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
    • 16   And charged them that they should not make him known:
    • 17   That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
    • 18   Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
    • 19   He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
    • 20   A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
    • 21   And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
    • 22   Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
    • 23   And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
    • 24   But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
    • 25   And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
    • 26   And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
    • 27   And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
    • 28   But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
    • 29   Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
    • 30   He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
    • 31   Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
    • 32   And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
    • 33   Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
    • 34   O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
    • 35   A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
    • 36   But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
    • 37   For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
    • 38   Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
    • 39   But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
    • 40   For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
    • 41   The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
    • 42   The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
    • 43   When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
    • 44   Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
    • 45   Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
    • 46   While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
    • 47   Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
    • 48   But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
    • 49   And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
    • 50   For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

  • 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.
