Stories from the Bible

This is a collection of stories from the Gospel of Luke, which uses only Bible verses to tell the story. That makes the stories potentially available in over 3,000 languages. The stories are presented freely here in bilingual format, for language learning, translation and multi-media sharing in any language.

We have other collections of stories:

Fifty Bible stories in story format paired with English. - 120 languages

Bible stories other than from Luke which use Bible Verses - 3000 languages under development

We need your help to provide these stories in other languages. The work involves copying and pasting the selected Bible verses into an Excel spreadsheet. You do not need to know the language, just look-up the Chapter and Verse from the on-line Bible and paste the verses into Excel, putting 1 verse per line. Please choose a language and contact us if you can help. Click on the Get Involved! icon for more information.
