The canon map: a bar for every chapter, from Genesis to Revelation.

Find the whole passage, not just the verse.

Precepts searches Scripture by what a passage says. Follow a theme through the whole Bible, read and listen in English or Telugu, and talk a question through out loud.

Type a word, a phrase or a question. Results are complete passages such as a parable, a psalm or a story, in the order they appear in Scripture, so you see the context a single verse leaves out.

Need precision? Use AND, OR, NOT, quotation marks and wildcards, and choose whether words must share a passage, a chapter or a verse. The page tells you how it understood your search.

Read and listen

Open any chapter, jump to a verse, and listen with the verse highlighted as it is read. Each verse shows its cross-references, ranked by how closely they relate and labelled as a quotation, a theme or shared words.
