WORD Research this...Acts 11
- 1 Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
- 2 When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
- 3 saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them!”
- 4 But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,
- 5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.
- 6 When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.
- 7 I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’
- 8 But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’
- 9 But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’
- 10 This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
- 11 Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
- 12 The Spirit told me to go with them, without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house.
- 13 He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa, and get Simon, who is called Peter,
- 14 who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’
- 15 As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.
- 16 I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.’
- 17 If then God gave to them the same gift as us, when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?”
- 18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!”
- 19 They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.
- 20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.
- 21 The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
- 22 The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. They sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,
- 23 who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.
- 24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.
- 25 Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.
- 26 When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
- 27 Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
- 28 One of them named Agabus stood up, and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.
- 29 As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
- 30 which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

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.
