Description
The PARALLEL PLUS® Bible-study app is for pastors, lay leaders, and others actively seeking a deeper understanding of the Scriptures. PARALLEL: up to 8 columns, 190+ versions. PLUS Greek and Hebrew word studies (verse lists, unabridged Thayer/BDB/Schleusner, word families). PLUS exegetic helps (parsings, translation tips). Free, install now.
EXPERIENCE IT: As you read down the column in one version, when you encounter a verse you'd like to better understand, just move your eyes left-and-right to see how other versions express that verse in its context, and then continue reading the chapter. The idea is to introduce as little eye movement as possible, so you can get into the Scriptures and stay there for a while.
BIBLICAL LANGUAGES: See Hebrew and Greek in parallel with other versions. Plus tap any word to lookup the corresponding Hebrew or Greek word and its occurrences. Plus tap any verse to lookup Hebrew or Greek details in a verse: phonetics, parsings, parts of speech, translation tips.
GO DEEPER: Tap any word, then tap “word study” to see: verse lists, lexical entries, and word families. Tap any verse, then tap “verse study” to see verse-at-a-time helps: color-coded parts-of-speech, word forms, phonetics, syllables, and translation tips. It also helps you find familiar Bible verses, even when you only remember a few words; enter "God so loved" in the search box and see where that phrase occurs in every Bible version in your parallel Bible.
PROTESTANT, CATHOLIC: This app automatically aligns verses—by verse content—and displays corresponding verse numbers when different.
COMMENTARY FREE: The act of reading versions in parallel helps readers to understand more deeply. Even without commentary. We feel this is so important that we do not include commentary in our app.
LANGUAGES: Biblical Hebrew and Greek plus English, French, German, Hindi, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, and about 50 others.

Ratings and Reviews
Love
This app is great, especially when comparing various translations. I also love that you can refer to the Greek and Hebrew text when comparing translations. I’m still trying to navigate the app, but it would’ve been great if there were more colours to choose from when using the highlight option. This allows you to highlight specific themes that you are studying, but overall its a fantastic app.
Very informative
It really is as advertised. I personally got so much more than I expected in this app. You can not only get the original language references but you can also do comparative analyses or reading as you can have multiple different Bible versions on your screen at any given moment
Essential tool for preachers
Incredibly helpful when looking for detail around a verse. Dynamic translations throw fresh light of the ‘Whole’ text. Having the Greek as a final reference makes for confidence when teaching the text. A must for every preacher 👊
