Red Letter Bible Tip

As I was searching for online ‘Red Letter’ Bible versions (those with Jesus’ spoken words in red) I found something new to me. At BibleGateway (biblegateway.com) is an option to activate this feature on those translations that support it. Using BG’s abbreviations, those English versions supporting this feature are: AMP, BRG, CSB, CEB, ESV, ESVUK, GNV, HCSB, ICB, ISV, LSB, TLB, MEV, NASB, NASB95, NCV, NIV, NIVUK, NKJV, NLV, NLT, WEB.

To activate, simply type into the search bar a passage in which you know Jesus is speaking (in a Gospel, e.g.). Icons will then appear between the search bar and the passage. Click on the Page Options icon (looks like a cog). From the drop-down menu check/select ‘Red Letter’. Jesus’ words will now display in red, if your selected version is one of those noted above.

You can view BG’s own “Red Letter Support” instructions for a visual.
