Go to the Bible section in the top menu, or use the search bar located on the right or at the bottom of the page to explore the Bible, organized by chapters (e.g., Joshua 1). The flag icon at the bottom of the page provides translations in over 100 languages. If you’re new and looking for suggestions on where to start reading, here’s a list of books in the Bible to begin with:
1. John, Luke, Matthew, and Mark – The Gospel, life and teachings of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. These are the most important books in the Bible. The book of Luke is where Jesus is born
2. Matthew 6:9-13: The Lord’s Prayer (How to pray properly)
