Today's Breath
He spoke a parable to them. “Can the blind guide the blind? Won’t they both fall into a pit?
All these sayings of Christ we had before in Matthew; some of them in ch. 7, others in other places. They were sayings that Christ often used; they needed only to be mentioned, it was easy to apply them. Grotius thinks that we need not be critical here in seeking for the coherence: they are golden sentences, like Solomon's proverbs…

Stop taking someone's word for it.
When you read a Bible verse, how do you know it says what you think it says? Not what a pastor said. Not what an app told you. The Daily Breath puts a few of history's most trusted Bible teachers beside every verse, so you can see what they said and decide for yourself.
Free. No account needed to start reading.
Everywhere else hands you one answer. This shows you several, side by side, so you can see the range and make up your own mind.
“Isn't this just made-up opinions?”
The Bible stays the Bible.
Maybe the Bible is the book you hold highest. Maybe you value other sacred writings too, or you're still working out what you believe. You're welcome here either way. These teachers aren't a second Bible. Consider them study helps: the actual writings of history's most trusted teachers of these Scriptures, always sitting under the text, never mixed into it. Think footnotes, not Scripture. You already weigh a pastor's or a friend's take on a verse. This just shows you a few trusted takes at once, with names you can check.
How it works
Open a verse.
Start reading. No account, no setup.
Read what a few teachers said.
They appear beside the verse, each labeled by tradition and quoted in their own words. Never blended into one answer.
Agree, differ, decide.
Where they agree is solid ground. Where they differ is yours to weigh. Stuck? Ask a question, and it answers only by quoting them, with citations. It never adds its own opinion.
See it on one verse
John 1:1. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
“…it is not he, but God by him, that speaks to mankind…”
“The Greek word “logos” signifies both Word and Reason. But in this passage it is better to interpret it Word …”
“In this introduction he asserts the eternal Divinity of Christ …”
Three traditions, 1,100 years apart, all landing on the same core: the “Word” is Christ, and Christ is God. You didn't take one person's word for it. You watched them agree.
