Instructions for using
the Bible Gateway

The Bible Gateway can either be used interactively as described below, or to turn existing Scripture references into hyperlinks as described in the Examples section.

To use the Gateway interactively, enter the passage you wish to see in the passage field on the form. If you are using the old Gateway (the one without the form), anything you type into your browser's search field will be interpreted as the passage. The format of the passage should look like one of the following examples:

 

You can also look up multiple passages in one pass by separating them with a semicolon. For example, you can enter a series of passages like "Gen 1:1-10; 2:3-9; Exo 1-2" and the Gateway will respond correctly.

Note:

  • Books in a series can be specified using 1-book, 1book, or I book
  • Books with only one chapter treat chapters as verses (eg. "Jude 1-5" returns Jude 1:1-5). To view the whole chapter in such a book, use the name of the book as the passage (eg. "Jude" will return Jude 1:1-25).
  • You can use a variety of abbreviations for the name of a book (eg. "1 Samuel", "1-Sam", "I Sam", and "1Sam" will all work).

To use the search feature, type in search word(s) in the search field. See our explanation of searching here.
