In Britain Bible app engagement rose by 6.5 per cent during Holy Week.

Last 12 months the most well-liked verse in Britain during Holy Week was John 16:33: “I even have told you these items, in order that in me you might have peace. In this world you’ll have trouble. But take heart! I even have overcome the world.”

This 12 months, the most well-liked verse was Matthew 28:6, “He just isn’t here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.”

Last 12 months essentially the most engaged with verse across the 12 months was in truth Isaiah 41:10, “So don’t fear, for I’m with you; don’t be dismayed, for I’m your God. I’ll strengthen you and show you how to; I’ll uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

Bobby Gruenewald, founder and CEO of YouVersion, said, “Over the last several months, worldwide interest within the Bible has continued to extend. It’s encouraging to see people trying to find and consistently coming back to Scripture for guidance, encouragement and answers.

“We especially see this at Easter where more persons are either reflecting on their faith or trying to know who Jesus was for themselves. Seeing people world wide encounter Scripture, many for the primary time, is strictly why we do that.”
