About
Free.Bible exists to be the cleanest, fastest, most respectful way to read and compare the Bible online. Scripture deserves careful typography and quiet pages — not banner ads, popups, or upsells.
Everything here is built on public-domain translations: texts that belong to everyone. You can read them, quote them, print them, and republish them without asking permission. The site’s own data is open too — see the developer documentation.
What you can do here
- Read public-domain translations across many languages
- Compare up to six side by side, aligned verse by verse
- Search the full text — and keep searching offline
- Study the original languages: tap any Hebrew or Greek word for its parsing
- Switch to a reader’s edition — flowing prose, no verse numbers
- Download a translation and read with no connection
- Turn any passage into a card you can share
- Jump to a reference the way you’d write it — “jn 3:16”
- Set the theme, text size, typeface and line width to taste
- Read the whole interface in your own language
- Listen to a chapter read aloud — verse by verse, offline too
- Put a passage on a screen for a church or study group, one verse at a time
- Embed a verse on your own site with one line of code
What we don’t do
- No advertising, sponsorships, or affiliate links.
- No accounts, cookie banners, or analytics trackers.
- No paywalls — there is no “premium” version of the Bible.
Reading preferences and your last-read position are stored only in your own browser and never leave your device.
