WORD Research this...Acts 11
- 1 Mitume na ndugu kule Yudea walisikia kwamba watu wa mataifa mengine pia walikuwa wamelipokea neno la Mungu.
- 2 Basi, Petro aliporudi Yerusalemu, wale Wayahudi waumini waliopendelea watu wa mataifa mengine watahiriwe, walimlaumu wakisema:
- 3 "Wewe umekwenda kukaa na watu wasiotahiriwa na hata umekula pamoja nao!
- 4 Hapo Petro akawaeleza kinaganaga juu ya yale yaliyotendeka tangu mwanzo:
- 5 "Siku moja nikiwa nasali mjini Yopa, niliona maono; niliona kitu kama shuka kubwa likishushwa chini kutoka mbinguni likiwa limeshikwa pembe zake nne, likawekwa kando yangu.
- 6 Nilichungulia ndani kwa makini nikaona wanyama wenye miguu minne, wanyama wa mwituni, wanyama watambaao na ndege wa angani.
-
7 Kisha nikasikia sauti ikiniambia:
Petro amka, chinja, ule. -
8 Lakini mimi nikasema:
La, Bwana; maana chochote kilicho najisi au kichafu hakijapata kamwe kuingia kinywani mwangu. -
9 Ile sauti ikasikika tena kutoka mbinguni:
Usiviite najisi vitu ambavyo Mungu amevitakasa. - 10 Jambo hilo lilifanyika mara tatu, na mwishowe vyote vilirudishwa juu mbinguni.
- 11 Ghafla, watu watatu waliokuwa wametumwa kwangu kutoka Kaisarea waliwasili kwenye nyumba niliyokuwa nakaa.
- 12 Roho aliniambia niende pamoja nao bila kusita. Hawa ndugu sita waliandamana nami pia kwenda Kaisarea na huko tuliingia nyumbani mwa Kornelio.
-
13 Yeye alitueleza jinsi alivyokuwa amemwona malaika amesimama nyumbani mwake na kumwambia:
Mtume mtu Yopa akamwite mtu mmoja aitwaye Simoni, kwa jina lingine Petro. -
14 Yeye atakuambia maneno ambayo kwayo wewe na jamaa yako yote mtaokolewa.
- 15 Na nilipoanza tu kuongea, Roho Mtakatifu aliwashukia kama alivyotushukia sisi pale awali.
-
16 Hapo nilikumbuka yale maneno Bwana aliyosema:
Yohane alibatiza kwa maji, lakini ninyi mtabatizwa kwa Roho Mtakatifu. - 17 Basi, kama Mungu amewapa pia watu wa mataifa mengine zawadi ileile aliyotupa sisi tulipomwamini Bwana Yesu Kristo, je, mimi ni nani hata nijaribu kumpinga Mungu?"
- 18 Waliposikia hayo, waliacha ubishi, wakamtukuza Mungu wakisema, "Mungu amewapa watu wa mataifa mengine nafasi ya kutubu na kuwa na uzima!"
- 19 Kutokana na mateso yaliyotokea wakati Stefano alipouawa, waumini walitawanyika. Wengine walikwenda mpaka Foinike, Kupro na Antiokia wakihubiri ule ujumbe kwa Wayahudi tu.
- 20 Lakini baadhi ya waumini waliotoka Kupro na Kurene, walikwenda Antiokia wakautangaza huo ujumbe kwa watu wa mataifa mengine wakiwahubiria ile Habari Njema juu ya Bwana Yesu.
- 21 Bwana aliwasaidia na idadi kubwa ya watu iliamini na kumgeukia Bwana.
- 22 Habari ya jambo hilo ikasikika kwa lile kanisa la Yerusalemu. Hivyo wakamtuma Barnaba aende Antiokia.
- 23 Alipofika huko na kuona jinsi Mungu alivyowaneemesha wale watu, alifurahi na kuwahimiza wote wadumu katika uaminifu wao kwa Bwana.
- 24 Barnaba alikuwa mtu mwema na mwenye kujaa Roho Mtakatifu na imani. Kundi kubwa la watu lilivutwa kwa Bwana.
- 25 Kisha, Barnaba alikwenda Tarso kumtafuta Saulo
- 26 Alipompata, alimleta Antiokia. Nao wote wawili walikaa na lile kanisa kwa mwaka wote mzima wakifundisha kundi kubwa la watu. Huko Antiokia, ndiko, kwa mara ya kwanza, wafuasi waliitwa Wakristo.
- 27 Wakati huohuo, manabii kadhaa walikuja Antiokia kutoka Yerusalemu.
- 28 Basi, mmoja wao aitwaye Agabo alisimama, na kwa uwezo wa Roho akabashiri kwamba kutakuwa na njaa kubwa katika nchi yote (Njaa hiyo ilitokea wakati Klaudio alipokuwa akitawala).
- 29 Wale wanafunzi waliamua kila mmoja kwa kadiri ya uwezo wake apeleke chochote ili kuwasaidia wale ndugu waliokuwa wanaishi Yudea.
- 30 Basi, wakafanya hivyo na kupeleka mchango wao kwa wazee wa kanisa kwa mikono ya Barnaba na Saulo.

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.
