About JST Bible FREE

The Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible or the JST Bible for short as an e-book app featuring voice output (TextToSpeech).

● ENGLISH TEXT
● ENGLISH VOICE OUTPUT

The Joseph Smith Translation of the holy Bible (JST), also called the Inspired Version (IV), was a revision of the Bible by Joseph Smith, the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement. Smith considered this work to be "a branch of his calling" as a prophet. Smith was murdered before he ever deemed it complete, though most of his work on it was performed about a decade previous. The work is the King James Version of the Bible (KJV) with some significant additions and revisions. It is considered a sacred text and is part of the canon of Community of Christ (CoC), formerly the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and other Latter Day Saint churches. Selections from the Joseph Smith Translation are also included in the footnotes and the appendix in the LDS-published King James Version of the Bible, but The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) has only officially canonized certain excerpts that appear in its Pearl of Great Price. These excerpts are the Book of Moses and Smith's revision of part of the Gospel of Matthew.

The work of revision

The Translation was intended to restore what Smith described as “many important points touching the salvation of men, [that] had been taken from the Bible, or lost before it was compiled.” But the work was not a literal translation from ancient documents, as the term translation is commonly used today. Neither was it an automatic and infallible process where "correct" words and phrases simply were revealed to Smith in final form. As with Joseph Smith's other translations, he reported that he was forced to "study it out in [his] mind" as part of the revelatory process. Sometimes Smith might revisit a given passage of scripture at a later time to give it a "plainer translation," because of additional knowledge or revelation about a subject.

What are users saying about JST Bible FREE

by Z####:

Joseph revised the Bible because various words were changed by scribes, making it a product of scribes. The LDS church hasnt used the JS version as it is seen perhaps as hindering perhaps new members. Salt lake should make this Bible authoritative.

A great app for witnessing. Would rate higher if a side-by-side KJV Bible was included for easier examination of the "plain and most precious parts" that went missing AFTER the 12 apostles, according to Nephi (1 Ne. 13:26). There are thousands of differences to compare in the old testament alone, which were never found in the dead sea scrolls. The scrolls were dated to a time BEFORE the 12 apostles. If Nephi's prophecy was wrong about WHEN the Bible was corrupted, how could he be a true prophet of God? (Deut. 18:22)

N70%
by N####:

The app itself is not bad. The UI could use some improvement but it is okay. There are a handful of typos......most were minor. Worst one I saw was Psalms 11 has been replaced with all of the text from Psalms 12.

L70%
by L####:

Great app, and the night time setting is petfect for me. Only reqest is to make larger fonts. Bad eyes I have.

N70%
by N####:

This is the translation that Joseph Smith declared completed on July 2nd, 1833. Oddly though, this app has no word or phrase search. I therefore recommend looking elsewhere for a Bible.

O70%
by O####:

Text to speech is mandatory. Stupid. No way to exit. App wants to stay in memory. GUI needs some serious work.

S70%
by S####:

It would be great if it had a word search and a dictionary access to it

N70%
by N####:

LDS church memorable quotes from Prophets, Apostles and other general authorizes. May also include quotes from recognized sources.

I would recommend it to anyone.

For any student, disciple. Of the most high

R70%
by R####:

The content is great for a free app. There are a few wrong words in the text though. It would be nice if the bookmark was by verse and not just chapter. Another great upgrade would be notes.

N70%
by N####:

I was thinking for the next update can be change the voice reading it something else than the Google voice like to James Earl Jones, Morgan Freeman or another voice

Y70%

For any student, disciple. Of the most high

J70%
by J####:

Thank you so much for making this. I was having trouble reading the normal Bible, knowing it wasn't completely true. This version makes so much more sense. I only rate it 4/5 stars because the user interface isn't the best.

Of Jesus Christ restored in these latter days with Faith, Hope and Charity
