Matthew, Mark, Luke and John each tell the story of Jesus — and each holds details the others leave out. Place the same event in parallel columns and watch the accounts complete one another, line by line.
One story, four witnesses
Read them apart and you flip between four books. Read them together and a single, fuller account of the same life comes into view.
Scroll once and all four columns move together, passage for passage. The instant one Gospel adds a detail the others skip, you see it standing right beside them.
Switch any column between eight trusted public-domain editions in English and French. Compare the wording of a verse, or settle into the voice you read best.
A subtle density map runs alongside the text, showing where each Gospel says more and where it says less. Touch it to leap straight to that moment in the story.
Everything lives on your iPad. No connection needed to open, read, or compare — on a plane, in a pew, or on a mountainside.
No accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking. Nothing you read ever leaves your device — there is simply nothing to collect.
One slider sets a comfortable reading size — and the whole interface grows with it, from the columns to the smallest control.
Eight translations included
Established public-domain editions, ready offline the moment you install. Set any of the four columns to any translation.
“And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written.”
John 21:25 · King James Version
