About Vantage Bible
Vantage Bible is the whole Bible, read side by side: the King James text of 1611, verbatim, or the Berean Standard Bible, a modern translation in the public domain, with a plain-English rendering of every verse a tap away. Tap any verse and the passage it belongs to opens: its name, what it means in plain English, and a Go deeper ladder of background, verse-by-verse study notes, cross-references that link straight to the verse they cite, and questions to sit with. All 66 books. Every one of the 6,285 passages. READ • The King James Version, verbatim, or the Berean Standard Bible. Both are bundled, so the whole Bible works with no connection at all • A plain-English rendering beside the text, written for this reader, or hidden until you want it • The words of Jesus in red • Four verse styles, eleven colour themes, ten reading fonts, one chapter at a time or the whole book • Pick up where you stopped LISTEN • Every chapter narrated, in either translation, with the verse being read lit as you follow • Plays on through the next chapter and the next: on the road, with the screen off, from the lock screen STUDY • Passage meanings and Go deeper for all 6,285 passages • 4,854 study notes across the New Testament, drawn from public-domain commentaries • The Greek behind the words: Strong's numbers for every tagged word in the New Testament • A map of every cross-reference in the Bible, 344,756 links drawn as one picture, and the verses behind each one • Verses for real life: 32 topics for grief, money, fear, marriage and work, and what each passage actually says KEEP • Highlight, annotate, bookmark, and gather verses into folders • Copy or share any verse as a clean quotation with its reference • Reading plans: the Gospels, Paul's letters, the New Testament in 90 days • Optional sync: sign in with your email and everything follows you between devices.

The King James text and the Berean Standard Bible are in the public domain. The plain-English rendering and the study material are original to Vantage Bible and are marked as commentary, never passed off as scripture. SUBSCRIPTION The app is free to try for 7 days.

What’s new
Version 1.0.3 · Updated October 10, 2026
Two more translations: the World English Bible and the Majority Standard Bible join the King James and the Berean Standard, each narrated chapter by chapter. Choose them under Settings > Translation. Continue reading now remembers the chapter you opened, even a short one. Home-screen widgets can show the Berean Standard. Where a modern translation omits a verse, the reader now says so instead of showing the King James in its place.
