I often find myself needing to search the Bible for a specific passage that I plan to quote or write about in an article, and I have found an excellent resource that makes that task very fast and easy. It’s called BibleGateway.com, and I can’t recommend it highly enough!
The premise behind the site is very simple: They have placed the entire text of the Holy Bible on the Internet and allow you to search for a word (i.e. Gethsemane), a phrase (i.e. the Holy Ghost) or a specific passage of scripture (i.e. John 3:16). Almost immediately after clicking the “Search the Bible” button, a list of all the verses in the Bible that contain the term you searched for is displayed on the screen. You can then review the search results and either print or copy & paste the most relevant one(s) into a word processor or other program. You can even expand them to display the entire chapter if desired. Biblical research has never been faster, easier or more efficient than it is with the help of this wonderful tool.
You can choose from several dozen “versions” of the Bible for your search (including all of the “popular” ones), but you can set a “default” version in the preferences section. Personally, I use the King James Version exclusively so I have the script set to search that version automatically every time I use the site.
If you spend any time at all studying the Bible or looking for specific passages, you owe it to yourself to check out www.BibleGateway.com. You just might find that it’s the only Bible reference tool you’ll ever need!
