Every verse of the Authorized King James Version and the World English Bible ships inside the app. 31,102 verses each, the words of Christ in red, full text search across all of it, and spoken recitation. No account, no connection, no tracking.
Verses Bundled
Both Complete
Nothing to Download
A scripture app that fetches chapters on demand stops working the moment you need it in a hospital corridor, on a plane, or in a church basement. Everything here is already on the phone.
Both translations and the full text search index are compiled into the app before you install it. Reading, searching, highlighting and listening all work in airplane mode, at exactly the same speed as on wifi, because there is no network path at all.
Open it and read. No email, no password, no profile. There is no analytics SDK, no advertising identifier and no crash reporter, so what you read, mark and write is known only to your device.
The entire Bible, both translations, search, red letter and the reader are free with no advertisements and no trial timer. Nothing in scripture sits behind a paywall, because putting the Bible behind one would be indefensible.
The Authorized King James Version of 1611, in its 1769 spelling, and the World English Bible, a modern public domain translation. 66 books, 1,189 chapters and 31,102 verses in each, so any reference you look up is there in both.
2,059 verses carry the words of Jesus, marked from the World English Bible translators' own editorial markup rather than guessed from quotation marks, and applied to both translations by reference.
A full text index over all 62,204 verses returns results as you type, on the device, with no round trip. Search a phrase you half remember and find the passage before you finish typing it.
Any chapter can be read aloud using the speech synthesis built into iOS, with lock screen controls and background playback so it keeps going while you drive, walk or work. No audio is downloaded and no microphone is ever used.
Anxiety, grief, hope, forgiveness, strength, solitude. Thematic discovery matches scripture to a state of mind using local vector similarity, for the times you know what you need but not where it is.
Mark a verse in one of three colours, bookmark where you stopped, and write what it meant to you. All of it stays in your device's own storage and is never transmitted anywhere.
The King James Version is in the public domain in the United States. The World English Bible is a modern public domain translation published by eBible.org, and the marking of the words of Christ comes from that translation's own editorial markup. Both texts were built into the app from their published sources and checked verse by verse against the canonical structure of 66 books, 1,189 chapters and 31,102 verses before shipping.
Free on iPhone and iPad. The whole Bible, twice over, already on the device.
