Android: Bible Search

Updated 2 weeks ago by Zizoh Anto

The search feature within the Bible tab easily gives you full-text search to find and discover a range of Bible texts and related videos. You can also filter your searches based on language/version, testament, and book.

  1. Select the Bible tab if it has not been selected already.
  2. Top right: select 🔍.
  3. Begin typing what you’re looking for.
  4. Finish typing exactly what you want, then select 🔍 on the keyboard. You can select the resulting content to read the full text or chapter.
Search within the Bible tab allows you to find related videos also, depending on the book you have selected. Try going to a book like John or Acts and clicking on the 🔍. You can find the videos that are related to the book under your recent searches.
The filter will appear once you’ve searched something, not before.
  • Use the search feature to find a Bible text reference, keyword/phrase, or topic.
    • Ex: search “1 Peter 4:1” or “faith” or “iron sharpens iron” or “faith”.
  • Top right: select the filter button to filter the search results or select one of the three buttons under Bible:
    • Language/Version.
    • OT/NT (Old Testament, New Testament, or both).
    • All Books (Search a specific book of the Bible, or search all).
    Only filter options with a match will be shown (i.e. if you search “Nebuchadnezzar”, only OT will be shown. If you search for Hagar, only four books will be shown).
If results aren’t as expected, try searching a different version of the Bible. Words will be correct in searches with different versions.
