Fortunately, the answer is yes! Here&#8217;s how.<\/p>\n<p>Start by going to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/\">Passage Lookup<\/a> page (located in the navigation bar on the left).<\/p>\n<p>Type in the passage to look up, like you normally would&mdash;but before you click the button to perform the search, take note of the version selector:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><img src=\"\/images\/faqs\/parallel1.png\"><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Click the &#8220;Lookup passage in multiple versions&#8221; link below the selector. Several more drop-down selectors will appear, where you can choose additional Bibles to add to your search. Choose up to four additional Bibles you want to view:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><img src=\"\/images\/faqs\/parallel4.png\"><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Click on the &#8220;Lookup Passage&#8221; button to look up the passage you entered.<\/p>\n<p>There! The same passage is displayed in each of the Bible versions you chose. By default, the versions are displayed in a list (scroll down to see the passage in all of the Bible versions). However, if you&#8217;d like to view all of the Bibles side-by-side, click on the &#8220;Columns&#8221; layout option:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><img src=\"\/images\/faqs\/parallel3.png\"><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The end result should look something like this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><img src=\"\/images\/faqs\/parallel2.png\"><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You can toggle between a List and Column layout by switching between those two options.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s it! You can update the multiple versions (or change which versions you&#8217;re viewing in parallel) from the passage results page. If you have questions or problems viewing the Bible in parallel that aren&#8217;t answered in this FAQ, don&#8217;t hesitate to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/feedback\/\">contact us<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re often asked if it&#8217;s possible to read the same passage in multiple translations side by side on Bible Gateway.
