Line up any English translation of a verse with the Greek or Hebrew, word by word
OpenBible.info's free Make Your Own Interlinear page takes one verse in any English translation, even your own, and uses Jev, a new fast AI model, to align it word by word with the Greek or Hebrew quickly. You can correct any alignment by hand and export it as JSON. The developer says it works better on word-for-word than thought-for-thought translations and calls it a first pass he would not rely on without review. Pastor use: paste a verse from the translation your congregation reads, see which Greek or Hebrew word sits behind each English word, then confirm it in a lexicon.

Our rule: AI helps with study, research and admin. The pastor still studies, verifies and writes the sermon.

Ask about a passage and get an answer built only from retrieved text and commentary
Elior is a Bible study app whose AI answers pull the passage, Hebrew and Greek word data, and public-domain commentary (Matthew Henry, Jamieson-Fausset-Brown, Adam Clarke, John Gill, Keil-Delitzsch) from its database and cite each claim. It says it never quotes verse text from the model's memory, and contested questions are answered with the range of views. Pastor use: tap each citation and check it against the commentator's own words.

OpenBible.info's Bible Reference Parser demo now has an optional Jev mode that uses a new fast AI model to spot passage references that don't follow standard patterns, such as a bare v17 that depends on context. It returns probabilities and alternate readings instead of a single answer, so you decide. It is also an experimental plugin for the open-source parser on GitHub. Pastor use: paste old study notes or a lecture transcript to list the passages they cite, then check the low-confidence ones yourself.

BibCrit is an open-source (Apache 2.0) web app for AI-assisted biblical textual criticism. Tools include an MT/LXX divergence analyzer, a back-translation workbench that reconstructs the probable Hebrew behind a Septuagint passage, an NT-use-of-OT analyzer, comparison of ancient witnesses such as the Dead Sea Scrolls and Samaritan Pentateuch, and tracing of how Church Fathers cited a passage. Its methodology note says results are AI-generated and should be cross-checked against the BHS critical apparatus and the Göttingen LXX. Pastor use: see where the Hebrew and Greek texts differ before you lean on a reading, then verify it in a critical edition.

Google's Expert Intelligence lets you add select ebooks you've purchased from Google Play Books to a Gemini Notebook as sources, so you can ask questions and get responses grounded directly in that book, and combine it with your own notes. If a book is eligible, Gemini Notebook is listed under the Tools badge on its Play Books page. In a shared notebook, collaborators must own their own copy. Pastor use: if a book on your study list is eligible, question it beside your notes and check each cited passage.
