Bible Search
An Orthodox tool for deep study of scripture texts. Fast search, translation comparison, interpretations, and a mode for the youngest readers.
"Scripture is a living book, where every word is connected to the others. It is an intricate, evolved graph that thinkers have been growing for millennia." — project philosophy
About the project
You are studying scripture. You need to find a specific passage. Compare translations. Grasp the context. See what the commentators say about it. Usually this means opening several books, sites, and apps — and still missing what you need, or spending half a day on it. Our tool gathers all of this in one place. Fast full-text search or search within specific books, with morphology and phrase matching. Parallel translations, where differences are visible at a glance with the variants highlighted. Original languages for researchers working with sources. Contextual analysis that helps explain why translations diverge. Scripture is a living book, where every word is connected to the others. It is an intricate, evolved graph that thinkers have been growing for millennia — from the very beginning, when the Old Testament texts were gathered, down to our own day. Our tool helps you see these connections: links to related passages, parallel texts, quotations, allusions. Everything is cross-linked: chapters, lines, liturgical readings, commentaries — you can descend to any depth and see who wrote what on the subject. Connection to Naasson: Our company is named Naasson — an ancestor of Christ who, together with others before the mission, leapt into the sea while the waters had yet to part. That convergence draws us to work with biblical texts, because we are Christians and because we bear the name of one of the Old Testament figures.

The search problem
By the end of 2025, there are already projects that have done a fine job gathering and cross-linking the texts of scripture. You can descend anywhere and read what others have written. The collections exist. The real challenge is a simple solution that will find for you the specific excerpts speaking to what you actually need. Beyond that, there is the question of shaping the results into something more than a flat list of quotes on a given topic, and instead grouping them into cohorts. Say there are questions about the six days of creation — how God made the world. There are questions tied to the history of the Jewish people. There are questions about the Babylonian captivity, the Egyptian captivity, and so on. Our tool is meant to help form answers along such cohorts, grouping quotes by theme.
Who this is for
The tool is made for researchers and theologians who need deep textual analysis, source comparison, and work with the original languages. For church ministers preparing sermons, studying context, and looking for parallel passages. For teachers building materials, demonstrating links between texts, and working with students. In truth, the tool is for everyone who studies scripture — from beginners to seasoned researchers. Understanding scripture goes beyond plain reading. It is about seeing the connections, grasping the context, and finding your way through the translations. Our tool helps with exactly this.

Mode for the youngest readers
One of the project's signature features is a simplified mode for children. With simpler wording, the source materials used for search include children's bibles — pre-revolutionary and foreign editions, with simplified illustrations. It is a blend that stays in harmony with the faith itself. We watch carefully to keep all materials Orthodox and faithful to the teaching of the Church. In the simplified mode, children can engage with scripture through accessible wording and illustrations that help them grasp the meaning while preserving the depth and truth of the text.
Ease of use
Fast navigation between books and chapters, bookmarks and history for saving important passages, personal notes for your own comments on the text, export of research results — all of this works intuitively, with no steep interface to learn. Search uses efficient algorithms for instant access, and you need no technical knowledge of how it works — just enter a query and get results.

Project status
The project is in an inactive phase of development. We work on it at a calm pace, as circumstances allow. It is an engaging project, and all the themes are worth exploring, which we do gradually, with attention to quality and to alignment with Orthodox teaching. The project is Orthodox Christian, and we watch carefully so that every piece of material matches the teaching of the Church. It is a tool for deep study of scripture with respect for tradition and the interpretations of the Holy Fathers. Orthodox educational portal about Easter.
