Matthew 11
- 1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed there to teach and to preach in their cities.
- 2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
- 3 And said to him, Are you he that should come, or do we look for another?
- 4 Jesus answered and said to them, Go and show John again those things which you do hear and see:
- 5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
- 6 And blessed is he, whoever shall not be offended in me. ¶
- 7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What went you out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
- 8 But what went you out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
- 9 But what went you out for to see? A prophet? yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
- 10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, which shall prepare your way before you.
- 11 Truly I say to you, Among them that are born of women there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
- 12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
- 13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
- 14 And if you will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
- 15 He that has ears to hear, let him hear. ¶
- 16 But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like to children sitting in the markets, and calling to their fellows,
- 17 And saying, We have piped to you, and you have not danced; we have mourned to you, and you have not lamented.
- 18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a devil.
- 19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a drunkard, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children. ¶
- 20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
- 21 Woe to you, Chorazin! woe to you, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
- 22 But I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
- 23 And you, Capernaum, which are exalted to heaven, shall be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in you, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
- 24 But I say to you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you. ¶
- 25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them to babes.
- 26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in your sight.
- 27 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. ¶
- 28 Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
- 29 Take my yoke on you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest to your souls.
- 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

American King James Version (akjv - 2.1)
2023-12-27English (en)
American King James Version
Produced by Stone Engelbrite
This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.
I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.

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.
