You're standing where Jesus prayed — and the passage is a tap away. ScriptureWalk notices when you come near one of 62 biblical sites in the Holy Land and offers the passages tied to that place. Walk Jerusalem's Old City, the shores of Galilee, or the road to Emmaus with Scripture rising to meet you — no signal required. EXPERIENCE SCRIPTURE WHERE IT HAPPENED Stand at the Western Wall and pray Psalm 122 for the peace of Jerusalem. Walk the shores of Galilee where Jesus called his first disciples. Climb the Mount of Olives and read the Olivet Discourse where it was spoken. ScriptureWalk turns a Holy Land visit from a tour into a pilgrimage. 62 BIBLICAL SITES, 214 PASSAGES Every site is mapped with GPS coordinates and linked to the passages tied to it. From the Garden of Gethsemane to Capernaum, from Bethlehem to the Sea of Galilee — the Bible comes alive beneath your feet. 4 BIBLE TRANSLATIONS Read in the translation you prefer: - Berean Standard Bible (BSB) — clear, modern English - King James Version (KJV) — classic, beloved language - World English Bible (WEB) — modern public domain - American Standard Version (ASV) — precise, formal Switch between translations instantly on any passage. WORKS WITHOUT A SIGNAL Sites, passages, trail routes and your journal all live on your phone, because cell service in the Judean wilderness comes and goes. LISTEN, SEARCH, AND KNOW BEFORE YOU GO Tap Listen and a passage is read aloud while you walk. Search every passage in the app by word or phrase, entirely offline. And where we have the details, a site page carries a practical briefing: opening hours, entry fee, dress code, accessibility, and whether there's water or a restroom when you get there. YOUR PILGRIMAGE JOURNAL ScriptureWalk keeps a record of the sites you visit, with the passages for each one. Add personal reflections and photos, and build a memoir of your journey. Create scripture cards to share with friends and family back home. PLAN YOUR DAY Build a daily itinerary from the mapped sites. See which passages await at each stop. Track your progress as you walk. ACHIEVEMENTS & READING PLANS Earn badges as you explore — visit sites, read passages, complete trails. Follow structured reading plans to prepare before your trip or deepen your experience on the ground. WALKING TRAILS Follow 11 curated pilgrimage routes with step-by-step waypoints, scripture readings at each stop, and practical information like distance, difficulty, and facilities.
