Text With Jesus alternative
A free Text With Jesus alternative, grounded in Scripture
Text With Jesus lets you chat with Jesus and dozens of other biblical figures, from Moses and Mary to the apostles. It has a free tier, and a premium subscription unlocks unlimited access to all of those characters.
Ask Abide Bible does something narrower on purpose: one voice, the voice of Jesus in the Gospels, answering from the Bible itself, free and without an account.

Why one voice, not many
Talking to many biblical characters can be fascinating. It can also drift away from what Scripture records, because the further a persona gets from the text, the more the AI has to invent.
Ask Abide Bible keeps to the comfort of Jesus' own words. Each answer searches the whole Bible first, then speaks gently, and shows you the verses so you can check them.
