Connect your AI to the Bible

Your AI stops quoting Scripture from memory. With Midvash it reads the real text in 117 free Bible versions and 69 languages, searches it, compares translations and explains every chapter. Works in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Cursor.

  • 117 versions in 69 languages
  • 11 study tools
  • Commentary on all 1,189 chapters

Made for people who study the Bible

You do not need to be a developer. Ask in plain words and the AI looks it up for you, with the reference.

Pastors
“Help me outline a sermon on Romans 8:28-39 and compare the BSB with the KJV.”
Bible class teachers
“List cross-references for John 3:16 that I can use in Sunday’s lesson.”
Students
“What does the Greek word agape mean, and where does it appear in 1 Corinthians 13?”
Daily devotion
“Read Psalm 23 in the World English Bible and explain what the chapter is about.”

How it works

Pick your Bibles

Choose the versions your AI should use, such as BSB, KJV or WEB. Every version is public domain or openly licensed.

Copy your link

We create a personal link for you. No account, no email, nothing to install.

Paste it into your AI

Add the link as a connector in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Cursor. From then on, the AI looks up the real text and cites the reference.

Create your link

Pick the Bible versions your AI should use. The first one you check becomes the default.

1. Filter by language

2. Choose your Bible versions

Tip: 2 or 3 versions give the cleanest answers.

Your connection link

Paste this link in ChatGPT or Claude. The steps are just below.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?

Yes. No account, no API key and no ads. What may cost something is the AI itself: ChatGPT only accepts custom apps on paid plans, while Claude allows one custom connector on the free plan.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You copy a link and paste it in your AI settings. The JSON and the terminal command are only for Cursor and Gemini CLI.

Which Bible version does the AI use?

The first version on your link. You can ask for any other version on your link by name. A link with no version uses the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), in English.

Why is my favorite translation missing?

Many popular translations have reserved rights and cannot be redistributed. Here we only include versions in the public domain or under an open license. You can read many more on midvash.com.

Does search work in Hebrew, Greek and Arabic?

Yes. Search works in every language of the catalog, ignores accents and letter case, and finds Hebrew and Arabic words typed without vowel marks.

Do you store what I ask?

No. Your link only says which versions to use. We do not ask who you are and we do not store your questions.
