Drawing from 7,957 verses
The New Testament is the second part of the Bible, 27 books centered on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus and the early years of the church. This page gives you a random verse from anywhere in those 27 books, with a fresh one on every click.
What you'll find in the New Testament
It begins with the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each one tells the story of Jesus from its own angle, covering his teaching, his miracles, his death on the cross, and his resurrection.
Acts comes next. It picks up where the Gospels leave off, following the first believers as the message spreads from Jerusalem out across the Roman world.
Then come the letters, which make up most of the New Testament. Thirteen are attributed to Paul, written to young churches in cities like Rome, Corinth, and Ephesus, and to coworkers like Timothy and Titus. They mix deep teaching with very practical advice about everyday life.
Other letters follow: Hebrews, James, 1 and 2 Peter, the letters of John, and Jude. Some are just a page long, but they cover faith, perseverance, love, and hope with remarkable directness.
The New Testament closes with Revelation, a book of visions that ends the whole Bible on a note of renewal, with every tear wiped away.
Why draw a random verse from the New Testament?
A random verse is a low-pressure way to spend a moment in Scripture. You do not need a reading plan or a study guide. You click, you read, you think about it for a minute.
It also takes you places you might not go on your own. Most readers know John 3:16 and Philippians 4:13. Fewer have lingered in 1 Thessalonians or 2 Peter, and those books reward the visit.
If a verse grabs you, look up the full chapter to see what surrounds it. Context almost always makes a verse richer, especially in the letters, where each line is part of a running conversation.
Whether you land in a Gospel story, a line from Paul, or a vision from Revelation, every verse here comes from the same short, remarkable collection that changed the world.
