Audio Bibles let the Bible App read to you.

Verse Tracker

Many early Christians were only able to experience portions of the Bible. One person would read aloud to a group, sharing passages from a handwritten copy of the text.

Today our smartphones give us hundreds of complete Bibles in our pockets. And the audio versions of many of these can actually “read” to us from God’s inspired Word!

The Bible App helps you engage more with Scripture, no matter what you’re doing: exercising, getting ready for work, on your commute…even reading along.1

Lumo - Gospel of Matthew

Now Playing in the Bible App: The Gospel of Matthew

The Gospel of Matthew lets you witness Jesus’ life firsthand, from the perspective of one of his closest friends, his disciple Matthew. Just released by The Lumo Project, The Gospel of Matthew uses the complete, word-for-word text from this New Testament book as its narration and script.

See the prophet John baptize Jesus. Watch Jesus deliver his Sermon on the Mount, then miraculously feed 5,000 people. Witness his crucifixion…followed soon after by his glorious resurrection. The Gospel of Matthew is available for you to start enjoying now, in this all-new series of short video clips: in the Bible App, at Bible.com, or on your Apple TV.
