Bibelstudium MCP

Look up Bible verses by reference. Returns exact text from a licensed German translation (see the `translation` argument for this instance's default). Use this for ALL Bible quotes — never quote from memory. When the edition carries footnotes for the requested verses, the field 'fussnoten' holds them verbatim: these are the publisher's own notes, not this server's, and they typically record an alternative rendering the edition weighed. Also call it when a book or reference looks unfamiliar, misspelled or made up, and before answering whether a book exists or belongs to the canon: the error names the nearest known book and states which canon this database covers. Do not answer such questions from memory either — a reference that seems wrong is a reason to call this tool, not to skip it.

Return one Bible verse word-by-word in the ORIGINAL language with lemma, Strong's number and full morphology. Use this to verify what the original text says — e.g. whether a noun is singular or plural — instead of inferring it from a translation. Covers the whole Bible: the OT (book 1–39) is served from the Hebrew/Aramaic Westminster Leningrad Codex; the NT (40–66) from a Greek text type chosen via `texttyp` — "byzantine" (Majority Text, default), "sblgnt" (critical), or "tr" (Textus Receptus, the only one with the Comma Johanneum). Edition and text type are labelled in the output.

Find cross-references (related/parallel passages) for one Bible verse, ranked by relevance votes, with the German text of the targets (in editions that cap verbatim quoting, the later targets carry `stelle` and `votes` only). Use this to find where a theme, quote or promise recurs elsewhere in Scripture. Where the UBS Parallel Passage Database lists the verse, `parallelen` adds the closed set of parallel places (synoptic pericopes, Kings/Chronicles doublets, OT quotations in the NT, recurring formulas) that the vote ranking often buries.

Concordance / word study: find ALL occurrences of an original-language word across the Bible. Search by Strong's number (preferred; "G26" = Greek/NT, "H7225" = Hebrew/OT) or by exact lemma as returned by bible_original (e.g. "ἀγάπη", "רֵאשִׁית"). Returns total count, per-book distribution, an occurrence list with the inflected surface forms, and English lexicon data (gloss, Strong's definition; for Greek also the full Abbott-Smith entry). NT edition selectable via texttyp (default byzantine).

Full-text search over the German Bible text. Finds verses containing ALL given words (exact word forms; umlauts/accents are folded, so 'fuhrt' matches "führt"). Quote phrases ("Gnade um Gnade"); a trailing * makes a prefix search (lieb* finds liebe/lieben/liebet …). Use this to locate a passage when the wording is known but the reference is not. Optionally restrict to one book.

Compare one NT verse word-by-word across the Greek editions (byzantine Majority Text, tr Textus Receptus, sblgnt critical text) and list the textual differences. Accentuation/case are ignored (byzantine/tr are stored unaccented), so reported differences are real variants or spelling variants (e.g. movable Ny). Additionally reports per-word attestation across eight editions (NA27/28, Tyndale House, SBL, Westcott-Hort, Tregelles, TR, Byzantine; STEPBible TAGNT). Use for questions about textual variants (e.g. the Comma Johanneum, 1Jn 5:7). OT verses have only one edition (WLC) and cannot be compared.

Report this server's own release version and which Bible data it has loaded, including each edition's licence, required attribution and how many verses it may quote verbatim per call. Use when asked which version runs, when collecting facts for a bug report, and before planning a longer quotation. Returns no scripture — use bible_lookup for verse text.
