Evidence Bible NT — Ray Comfort › About this edition
About this web edition
A record of what this edition contains, where the text came from, how it was prepared, and how its accuracy was checked — so that anyone using it can judge it for themselves.
What is in it
This edition covers the portion of the Bible that The Evidence Bible pocket edition contains: Psalms, Proverbs, and all 27 books of the New Testament, Matthew through Revelation — every chapter, every verse. Nothing has been left out, summarised or shortened. The verse count above matches the standard King James Version verse count for these books exactly (11,333), which was used as an independent check on the completeness of the extraction.
What this book is
The Evidence Bible: Irrefutable Evidence for the Thinking Mind was compiled by Ray Comfort and published by Bridge-Logos Publishers (Alachua, Florida) in 2002, in association with Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron’s Way of the Master evangelism ministry. It combines the King James Version Bible text with thousands of Comfort’s own evangelistic notes, answers to common objections, quotations from scientists, philosophers, historians and other public figures, and cross-references — printed in the margins and between verses throughout the text. This web edition is of the pocket New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs volume; the source file used carries the title Evidence Bible NT in its own document metadata.

Translation: the King James Version, lightly modernized
The compiler’s own Preface explains the approach taken with the text: a small number of archaic King James words were updated for readability (his example: words like “concupiscence,” “decketh,” “howbeit” and “waxeth”), while “we would never even think of dropping verses… neither would we change the meaning of any verse, nor drop one jot nor tittle from God’s Word.” This edition preserves the King James Version wording exactly as printed in the source — including the places where older forms such as “thou” and “thy” remain (most noticeably in the Psalms) and the places where the compiler modernized wording (most noticeably in the New Testament). No translation has been substituted, and no verse has been reworded by this web edition. Read the full explanation on the Preface page.
How the text was prepared
The source was the publisher’s own digital e-book edition: a 2,733-page PDF (produced with the calibre e-book tool) with a genuine embedded text layer — the file was typeset from a digital source, not scanned — which was confirmed before any text was taken from it. Because there was no scanned page anywhere in the file, no optical character recognition was needed or used; OCR is the usual source of silent corruption in projects like this, and avoiding it entirely removes that risk.
The text was extracted directly, page by page, then parsed into structure by recognising the source’s
own conventions: book headings, CHAPTER n markers, PSALM n markers, in-line verse
numbers, and the compiler’s own footnote convention of a chapter:verse reference (for example
28:9) preceding a note. Because the source is a small-format pocket-book PDF laid out across
2,733 short pages, page breaks fall mid-sentence on almost every page; these page-break artefacts were removed
first, then verse and note boundaries were identified from a single continuous pass over each chapter’s
text, so that content appearing between two verse markers was never discarded, only assigned to whichever verse
or note it followed.
How it was checked
- Completeness by verse count. Every chapter of Psalms, Proverbs and the New Testament was parsed and the number of verses recovered was checked chapter by chapter against the standard King James Version verse numbering. The totals matched exactly: 11,333 verses, with no chapter short or over, and no duplicated or skipped verse number anywhere in the edition.
- No empty verses. Every one of the 11,333 verses was checked to contain actual text.
- Nothing dropped between verses. The chapter text was reassembled from the source in a single pass, so that any material not claimed by a verse or a note would have shown up as an unassigned remainder; none did.
- Spot checks. Well-known verses (for example John 3:16, Genesis‑style Psalms openings, the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6) were compared word-for-word against the source PDF.
One correction made to the source
In the source file, a page-layout artefact caused an essay note (on Psalm 19:7–11) to be immediately followed, with no page break or blank line, by the opening words of Psalm 21:1 — so that verse 1’s own text (“The king shall joy in your strength, O LORD…”) was initially swept into the note above it. This was found during verification (Psalm 21 was one verse short of the expected count), traced to its exact location, and corrected by hand: verse 1 was restored to its correct place, and the note above it was trimmed to end where the note actually ends in the source. No other change of this kind was found or made anywhere else in the edition.
A note on typographic emphasis
The printed edition uses bold text, italics and shaded verse boxes to mark verses the compiler recommends for witnessing and memorization (explained on the How to Use This Book page). Plain-text extraction from the source PDF does not preserve that typographic styling, since it is a print-design signal layered on top of the words rather than a difference in the words themselves. The text of every verse is complete and unchanged; only that particular visual emphasis is not reproduced here.
How this edition is built
The site is a plain static web application: HTML, CSS and JavaScript, with the Bible text and notes stored as one compact JSON file per book and a pre-built search index split into shards by letter. Nothing runs on the server — no PHP, no database — so it runs from any ordinary web host, and it loads only the book you are actually reading. Searching happens entirely inside your own browser.
Bookmarks and your light/dark and text-size preferences are stored in your browser’s own local storage. They never leave your device, and this site sets no cookies and carries no tracking.
