TheWay is a complete King James Bible study app — read, listen, study and memorize Scripture, all in one place and free. LISTEN TO THE BIBLE Hear the whole KJV read aloud by a human narrator. The verse being read is highlighted so you can follow along, it plays straight on into the next chapter, and you can start from any verse. Play a day's reading plan straight through, and set a sleep timer. VERSE OF THE DAY & DAILY REMINDERS Add the Verse of the Day widget to your Home Screen or Lock Screen, and get a gentle daily reminder at the time you choose. READ OFFLINE Save the whole Bible, or individual books with narration, to read and listen on a plane, at camp, or anywhere the signal drops. STUDY THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGES Tap any word to see the Greek or Hebrew behind it: Strong's definitions, transliteration, pronunciation and usage, plus the Abbott-Smith Greek and Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew lexicons. 20 CLASSIC COMMENTARIES Matthew Henry, Spurgeon's Treasury of David, John Gill, Keil & Delitzsch, Barnes, Calvin, Wesley, Adam Clarke, Jamieson-Fausset-Brown, the Geneva notes, Scofield and more — focused on the exact verse you tap. BIBLE DICTIONARY & PEOPLE Look up any person, place or topic in Easton's, Smith's, the ISBE, Nave's Topical Bible and Torrey's. Explore 3,000 people of the Bible — family, key passages and events — and a Bible & World Timeline that shows what was happening in history alongside Scripture. DAILY DEVOTIONALS & LIBRARY Spurgeon's Morning and Evening and Daily Light for every day of the year, plus a library of confessions of faith and Christian classics: Pilgrim's Progress, Ryle, Owen, Edwards, Bounds, Calvin's Institutes and Josephus. HISTORIC ENGLISH BIBLES Compare the KJV with the Bibles that came before it — Wycliffe, Tyndale, Coverdale, Matthew's, the Great Bible, Geneva and the Bishops' Bible — along with modern translations. READING PLANS & MEMORY VERSES Follow a reading plan, keep a daily streak, and memorize Scripture with spaced repetition and five practice modes. HIGHLIGHT, NOTE, JOURNAL & PRAY Highlight in four colors, add notes to any verse, keep a journal linked to passages, and track prayer requests and answered prayers. SEARCH THAT UNDERSTANDS YOU Search by reference, word, phrase, topic or question — "John 3:16", "fear not", or "what does the Bible say about anxiety". SYNC ACROSS DEVICES Create a free account to keep your highlights, notes, memory verses, journal, prayers and reading progress in sync on your phone, tablet and computer. Read the Bible. Follow Jesus.
