Parallel Bibles[edit]

  • https://bahai-library.com/lippitt_bible_bahai_index (includes Bahá'í references)
  • https://bahai-library.com/bible_zamir_multilinear (includes King James version in multilinear (parallel) format with Bahá'í references); also https://bahai-browser.org/#lang=en-US&work=bible for the experimental, currently Chromium-browser-only, database-driven tool.
  • https://www.biblegateway.com/ (If the search includes more than 3 versions but you wish to view the results in parallel (rather than the default which will put the versions one after another), you will need to click on "Change Layout" once the results appear. If the search is only for 2 or 3 versions, they will automatically be put in parallel view.)
  • https://www.biblestudytools.com/parallel-bible/ (a parallel Bible (but only two can be seen at once), but unlike Bible Gateway above, it aligns the verses perfectly for easier comparison)

Interlinear Bibles[edit]

  • https://www.biblestudytools.com/interlinear-bible/ (interlinear (translations following one after the other by verse) but only for two additional Bibles (the additional Bible translations are confined to Greek and Hebrew results).
  • https://www.blueletterbible.org/ (interlinear for a chosen verse at a time)

Jesus spoke in parables[edit]

"Whatever proceeded from the tongue of the Son was revealed in parables, whilst He Who proclaimeth the Truth in this Day speaketh without them."

Miracles[edit]

Bahá'ís Should Try to Find a Spiritual Meaning to the So-Called Miraculous Events Recorded in the Gospel[edit]

"Concerning the resurrection of Christ, he wishes to call your attention to the fact that in this as well as in practically all the so-called miraculous events recorded in the Gospel we should, as Bahá'ís, seek to find a spiritual meaning and to entirely discard the physical interpretation attached to them by many of the Christian sects. The resurrection of Christ was, indeed, not physical but essentially spiritual, and is symbolic of the truth that the reality of man is to be found not in his physical constitution, but in his soul. A careful perusal of the 'Iqan' and of the 'Some Answered Questions' makes this indubitably clear."

(From a letter written to an individual believer on behalf of the Guardian, August 14, 1934, in Lights of Guidance, no. 1649)

When Abdu'l-Bahá States that We Believe What is in the Bible, He Means in Substance; not that every word is literal or an authentic saying[edit]

"When Abdu'l-Bahá states we believe what is in the Bible, He means in substance. Not that we believe every word of it to be taken literally or that every word is the authentic saying of the Prophet."

(From a letter written on behalf of the Guardian to an individual believer and cited on behalf of the Universal House of Justice, March 13, 1986 in a letter to a believer, in Lights of Guidance, no. 1660)
