Come Behold is a Bible study app for readers who want to see the shape of Scripture, not just search for verses. Read the text, mark what you notice, trace cross-references, follow themes, and open visual tools that make places, timelines, people, and patterns easier to understand. Come Behold is built for careful first-hand reading: quiet enough for daily Scripture, deep enough for teaching prep, and visual enough to make complex passages easier to grasp. Instead of scattering your study across a Bible app, notes app, browser tabs, PDFs, and image searches, Come Behold keeps the work close to the passage. Your notes, highlights, word studies, maps, timelines, schematics, reading plans, and memorization all live where you are reading. Use Come Behold to: - Read Scripture with KJV, ASV, NKJV, and NASB 1995 available offline. - Mark the text with highlights, notes, ink drawings, and voice memos anchored to verse ranges. - Understand original-language connections with Strong's Hebrew and Greek lookup, inline word tools, and morphology helps. - Follow the Bible's larger structure through timelines, gospel harmony, genealogies, character relationships, topical threads, and journey maps. - Prepare studies and teaching material with visual references, passage notes, cross-references, schematics, and exportable study aids. - Build habits with reading plans, memorization review, and a prayer request journal. Come Behold also includes more than 12,000 curated passage notes, cross-references from the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, visual study tools for major biblical events and themes, and an offline-first design with no ads and no tracking. THE BEREAN The Berean is an optional upgrade for readers who want the full visual library and sync experience. It unlocks image-backed references for biblical events, miracles, places, people, journey maps, and major schematics such as the Tabernacle, Solomon's Temple, Noah's Ark, Jerusalem, the High Priest, and the Armor of God. The Berean also enables cross-device sync for study notes, annotations, prayer requests, and memorization, plus access to future visual additions as they ship. PRIVACY Come Behold does not require an account to read, annotate, or use the free study tools. Optional Sign in with Apple is available for Berean sync. There is no ad tracking. Your annotations stay on your device unless you choose backup or sync. Come Behold is made for pastors, teachers, students, families, and serious Bible readers who want a study app that helps them observe the text more clearly and remember what they have seen.
