WORD Research this...Acts 18
- 1 Baada ya hayo, Paulo aliondoka Athene, akaenda Korintho.
- 2 Huko Korintho, alimkuta Myahudi mmoja aitwaye Akula, mzaliwa wa Ponto. Akula pamoja na mkewe aitwaye Priskila, walikuwa wamerudi kutoka Italia siku hizohizo kwa sababu Kaisari Klaudio alikuwa ameamuru Wayahudi wote waondoke Roma. Paulo alikwenda kuwaona,
- 3 na kwa vile wao walikuwa mafundi wa kushona mahema kama alivyokuwa yeye, Paulo alikaa nao akafanya kazi.
- 4 Kila Sabato alifanya majadiliano katika sunagogi akijaribu kuwavuta Wayahudi na Wagiriki.
- 5 Baada ya Sila na Timotheo kuwasili kutoka Makedonia, Paulo alianza kutumia wakati wake wote kwa ajili ya kuhubiri, akawathibitishia Wayahudi kwamba Yesu ndiye Kristo.
- 6 Walipompinga na kuanza kumtukana, aliyakung'uta mavazi yake mbele yao akisema, "Mkipotea ni shauri lenu wenyewe; mimi sina lawama yoyote juu ya jambo hilo. Na tangu sasa nitawaendea watu na mataifa mengine."
- 7 Basi, akatoka hapo akaenda kukaa nyumbani kwa mtu mmoja mcha Mungu aitwaye Tito Yusto. Nyumba yake Tito ilikuwa karibu na lile sunagogi.
- 8 Lakini Krispo, mkuu wa sunagogi, alimwamini Bwana yeye pamoja na jamaa yake yote. Wakorintho wengi waliusikiliza ujumbe huo, wakaamini na kubatizwa.
- 9 Siku moja usiku, Bwana alimwambia Paulo katika maono: "Usiogope, endelea kuhubiri tu bila kufa moyo,
- 10 maana mimi niko pamoja nawe. Hakuna mtu atakayejaribu kukudhuru maana hapa mjini pana watu wengi walio upande wangu."
- 11 Basi, Paulo alikaa huko akifundisha neno la Mungu kati yao kwa muda wa mwaka mmoja na nusu.
- 12 Lakini wakati Galio alipokuwa mkuu wa mkoa wa Akaya, Wayahudi walimvamia Paulo kwa pamoja na kumpeleka mahakamani.
- 13 Wakasema, "Tunamshtaki mtu huyu kwa sababu ya kuwashawishi watu wamwabudu Mungu kwa namna inayopingana na Sheria."
- 14 Kabla tu Paulo hajaanza kusema, Galio aliwaambia Wayahudi, "Sikilizeni enyi Wayahudi! Kama kweli jambo hili lingekuwa juu ya uhalifu au uovu ningekuwa tayari kuwasikilizeni.
- 15 Lakini kama ni shauri la ubishi kuhusu maneno na majina ya Sheria yenu, amueni ninyi wenyewe. Mimi sitaki kuwa hakimu wa mambo haya!"
- 16 Basi, akawafukuza kutoka mahakamani.
- 17 Nao wote wakamkamata Sosthene ambaye alikuwa kiongozi wa sunagogi, wakampiga palepale mbele ya mahakama. Lakini Galio hakujali kitendo hicho hata kidogo.
- 18 Paulo alikaa bado na wale ndugu huko Korintho kwa siku nyingi. Kisha aliwaaga, akapanda meli kwenda Siria pamoja na Priskila na Akula. Huko Kenkrea, alinyoa nywele zake kwa sababu ya nadhiri aliyokuwa ameweka.
- 19 Walifika Efeso na hapo Paulo aliwaacha Priskila na Akula, akaenda katika sunagogi, akajadiliana na Wayahudi.
- 20 Walimwomba akae nao muda mrefu zaidi, lakini hakupenda.
- 21 Bali alipokuwa anaondoka, alisema, "Mungu akipenda nitakuja kwenu tena." Akaondoka Efeso kwa meli.
- 22 Meli ilitia nanga Kaisarea, naye Paulo akaenda Yerusalemu kulisalimia lile kanisa, kisha akaenda Antiokia.
- 23 Alikaa huko muda mfupi, halafu akaendelea na safari kwa kupitia sehemu za Galatia na Frugia akiwatia moyo wafuasi wote.
- 24 Myahudi mmoja aitwaye Apolo, mzaliwa wa Aleksandria, alifika Efeso. Alikuwa mtu mwenye ufasaha wa kuongea na mwenye ujuzi mkubwa wa Maandiko Matakatifu.
- 25 Alikuwa amefundishwa juu ya hiyo njia ya Bwana, na akiwa motomoto, aliongea juu ya habari za Yesu. Akafundisha kwa usahihi ingawa alikuwa amepata ubatizo wa Yohane tu.
- 26 Priskila na Akula walipomsikia akiongea kwa uhodari ndani ya sunagogi, walimchukua kwao wakamfundisha hiyo Njia ya Mungu kwa usahihi zaidi.
- 27 Apolo alipoamua kwenda Akaya, wale ndugu walimtia moyo kwa kuwaandikia wafuasi kule Akaya wampokee. Alipofika huko, aliweza kwa msaada wa neema ya Mungu, kuwasaidia sana wale ndugu waliopata kuwa waumini;
- 28 kwa maana aliendelea kwa uhodari kuwashinda Wayahudi hadharani akithibitisha kwa Maandiko Matakatifu kuwa Yesu ni Kristo.

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.
