World English Bible Protestant Edition (WEBP)

John 14

  1. 1“Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me.
  2. 2In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.
  3. 3If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also.
  4. 4You know where I go, and you know the way.”
  5. 5Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going. How can we know the way?”
  6. 6Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
  7. 7If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him and have seen him.”
  8. 8Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
  9. 9Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
  10. 10Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father who lives in me does his works.
  11. 11Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
  12. 12Most certainly I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and he will do greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.
  13. 13Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
  14. 14If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it.
  15. 15If you love me, keep my commandments.
  16. 16I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever:
  17. 17the Spirit of truth, whom the world can’t receive, for it doesn’t see him and doesn’t know him. You know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
  18. 18I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.
  19. 19Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.
  20. 20In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
  21. 21One who has my commandments and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.”
  22. 22Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?”
  23. 23Jesus answered him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
  24. 24He who doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my words. The word which you hear isn’t mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
  25. 25“I have said these things to you while still living with you.
  26. 26But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.
  27. 27Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.
  28. 28You heard how I told you, ‘I am going away, and I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced because I said ‘I am going to my Father;’ for the Father is greater than I.
  29. 29Now I have told you before it happens so that when it happens, you may believe.
  30. 30I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me.
  31. 31But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, even so I do. Arise, let’s go from here.

How It Works

Draw a chapter

BibleVerseGen chooses from all 1,189 verified WEBP chapters with equal probability. The selection happens at the chapter level, not by choosing a book first, so a chapter in a one-chapter book has the same chance as a chapter in Psalms or Genesis.

The complete chapter appears in the first server response. You do not have to enable a browser script, choose a testament, or follow a reference to another website before you can start reading.

Generate another

Select Show Another Chapter whenever you want a new place to read. BibleVerseGen avoids immediately returning the same chapter, while leaving the current text visible until the next verified chapter is ready.

If a request fails, the chapter you were reading stays on the page and the same button becomes a safe retry. The tool never fills an error state with invented or incomplete Scripture.

Copy or share

Copy saves the chapter reference, translation, source, and a stable reading link. It does not place the entire chapter into your clipboard by default, which keeps notes and messages manageable while preserving a clear route back to the complete text.

Share uses your browser or device when available. If native sharing is unavailable or fails, BibleVerseGen falls back to copying the same reference and link.

Read at a human pace

A random chapter is a starting point, not a prediction or a personalized instruction. Read the whole chapter slowly, notice who is speaking and what comes before a memorable line, and use the reference to continue your study.

BibleVerseGen displays the verified WEBP text without AI rewriting, commentary, or topic matching. Interpretation still benefits from the surrounding book, a trusted translation, and thoughtful study.

Read a Full Chapter in Context

A full chapter keeps connected events, arguments, prayers, poems, and instructions together. It gives a short verse more of its original setting and makes it easier to notice repeated words, changes in speaker, contrasts, and conclusions. Chapter boundaries are not a substitute for studying the whole book, but they offer a more complete reading unit than an isolated quotation.

Keep the whole thought together

Start with the chapter title and move through every available verse in order. Resist the urge to stop at the first familiar sentence. Later verses may answer a question, qualify an instruction, complete a story, or change the emphasis of an earlier line.

The displayed book and chapter reference stays visible, and the WEBP translation is named on every result. That makes it straightforward to compare the same chapter in another Bible edition without confusing the source of the wording shown here.

Return to the same chapter

The stable reading link opens this exact book and chapter instead of drawing a new result. Use it in a note, bookmark, or message when you want to return later or invite someone else to read the same text.

Stable reading pages are for reading and sharing. They remain outside the searchable page index, while this tool page is the single public entry for the random chapter task.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the result include the complete chapter?

Yes. The result contains every verse with verified text in the selected WEBP chapter, in its original order. Official source editions sometimes preserve a verse-number gap where a traditional number has no verse text; BibleVerseGen does not invent wording to fill that gap.

How is a random Bible chapter selected?

The tool builds one list containing all 1,189 chapters in the 66-book WEBP canon and chooses directly from that list. Each chapter therefore receives the same chance. The choice is not based on topic, popularity, reading history, or personal information.

Can I generate another chapter?

Yes. Select Show Another Chapter to request a different result. The current chapter stays visible during loading and after a failed request, and the service avoids returning the same chapter twice in immediate succession.

Which Bible translation is used?

BibleVerseGen uses the World English Bible Protestant Edition, identified as WEBP. It is a Public Domain translation provided through eBible.org. The site does not mix translations or silently rewrite the text.

Does BibleVerseGen save my reading history?

No account or reading-history database is used. A temporary page session can prevent an immediate repeat, but the tool does not build a personal chapter history. Copy and Share use capabilities on your device, and the site does not receive the destination you choose.
