Greek New Testament Search

Greek NT Search is a tool that allows you to quickly search the Greek New Testament using Greek words, English words, or Strongs numbers. This tool was created using Django, Supabase/Postgres, and the amazing Greek MACULA Dataset.

I had a few Motivations for building this tool. First and foremost, I wanted to get my feel with with Django again after a hiatus. I was also very interested in how words were used across the Greek New Testament. When I build an early version and showed it to some friends, the feedback was great. One person at my church started using it periodically for Bible Study, and they requested that the app provide good definitions for the words that show up in the search results (for those who don’t know Greek well).

To implement Greek word definitions, I used the excellent UBS Dictionary of the Greek New Testament. The word definitions it gives are sense-specific, so they describe the word as it is used in the context, rather then in merely general terms.
