Lantern Bible is a Bible app for readers who want to go deeper — built around commentary, reading plans, and the tools that turn reading into study.
FOUR TRANSLATIONS — ALL BUNDLED IN
- BSB — Berean Standard Bible (modern, accurate)
- KJV — King James Version (1769)
- NET — New English Translation (full study-note edition)
- MSB — Majority Standard Bible (Textus Receptus base)
All four are included at install. No separate downloads.
COMMENTARY & STUDY NOTES
Inline commentary and study notes accompany the text so you can read and understand Scripture in context. Notes sit right alongside the passage you're reading.
READING PLANS
- M'Cheyne One-Year Plan: read through the whole Bible in a year across coordinated Old and New Testament passages each day
- 5x5x5 Plan: five minutes a day, five days a week through the New Testament
- Streak tracking keeps your momentum going across sessions.
PERSONAL TOOLS
- Highlights: mark verses in multiple colors and return to them later
- Bookmarks: save any passage for quick access
- Personal notes: write your own reflections directly alongside the text
OFFLINE READING
Everything works without a network connection once installed. Read on a plane, in a remote area, or anywhere without signal — full text and all tools available offline.
SEARCH
Full-text search across all four translations simultaneously. Find any word, phrase, or passage across the entire Bible instantly.
WHY LANTERN
Commentary, study notes, four translations, reading plans, offline access, and personal tools in one focused, distraction-free app. The BSB and MSB are modern and accurate finding both alongside the full-note NET edition and the KJV in a single app is rare.
PERFECT FOR
- Daily Bible readers who want commentary alongside the text
- Readers following a structured one-year or New Testament plan
- Students preparing for small group, Sunday school, or personal devotion
- Anyone who wants to highlight, bookmark, and note their way through Scripture
Download Lantern Bible and read Scripture the way it was meant to be studied.
