The #1 Bible Site in the World
MEGABIBLE.net is a free, ad-free place to read, study, and type all 91 Hebrew and Christian books of the Bible.
The MEGABIBLE.net Ethos
The books of the Hebrew Bible have been in circulation for over two thousand years, and the books of the Christian Bible for almost as long. These sacred works were a luxury for the few until the advent of the printing press in the 15th century, which fueled the spread of the Bible and the Protestant Reformation. This boon of freely accessible information put Jewish and Christian theology in the hands of the common man and woman.
If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother: but thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.
In the last century, there has been a gold rush to create copyrighted translations of these Bible books, resulting in an ever-growing translation catalog that has become daunting to the lay reader. Additionally, the dawn of the world wide web saw the rise of numerous Bible websites, most of them limited to the 66 book Protestant canon, and the most popular of which host multiple advertisements right next to the verses themselves, our modern illuminated Bible! In the digital space, popular Bible software services have increasingly placed valuable tools and scholarly information behind paywalls and subscriptions. All of these modern maladies make it harder for today's Bible reader to read in peace and with ease.
Not so at MEGABIBLE.net
Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters,
And he that hath no money;
Come ye, buy, and eat;
Yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
We host the extended 91 book Bible canon entirely in the public domain. The majority of the corpus is covered by two English translations: one traditional (KJV) and one modern (World English Bible, completed in 2020). Each verse easily shows its original Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek, with an easy to read transliteration to get to know the original languages better. Extended Apocryphal works are hosted with the same level of detail, including cross-references to the main canonical body.
The 91 books are divided further into the following subgroups:
First Testament(57 books)
- 5 books of the Torah
- 21 books of the Nevi'im
- 13 books of the Ketuvim
- 9 books of the Deuterocanon
- 9 books of the First Testament Apocrypha
Second Testament(34 books)
- 10 books of the Pauline Epistles
- 4 books of the Synoptic Gospels and Acts
- 5 books of the Johannine Works
- 3 books of the Pastoral Epistles
- 5 books of the Catholic Epistles
- 7 books of the Second Testament Apocrypha
This library of books is hosted on MEGABIBLE.net ad-free, allowing readers to copy as much of the text for their own purposes as they need. Every text shows its provenance and original source.
Three Core Features
Building on this free information ethos, MEGABIBLE.net has developed three applications for interacting with the 91 books of the Bible:
The MEGABIBLE.net Reader
The responsive web framework of MEGABIBLE.net has been tested thoroughly on desktop and mobile devices by real humans, ensuring maximum readability and a great user experience. Readers can easily jump from Bible book to Bible book by using the quick navigation shortcut, or expand a verse to view the words in their original Hebrew, Greek, or Aramaic.
Each Bible book also includes a book hub page with an easy to read timeline and links to sources. New information is added and updated every week.
The MEGABIBLE.net Study Engine
MEGABIBLE.net employs a new intuitive Bible study system that allows readers to collect verses into study boards called Pericope.
- Pericope→
- Pericope boards can be viewed in Scroll mode, allowing verses to be read in a social media-like feed, and Grid mode, which allows readers to arrange and present collected verses in new ways.
The MEGABIBLE.net Typing Engine
Whenever people start talking about Bible websites, they inevitably end up at the same question: Where can I type the Bible? MEGABIBLE.net has finally solved this issue with a new robust typing engine built in a revolutionary computer language called JavaScript. This engine is used in an application called Typing Vigil.
- Typing Vigil→
