## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to retrieve exact Bible scripture text by reference (book, chapter, verse) with support for a wide range of translations. It is ideal for devotional apps, sermon prep tools, Bible study agents, or any workflow that requires authoritative scripture lookup rather than general religious Q&A or commentary generation.

## Known failure modes

- Reference not recognized or malformed (e.g. misspelled book name) — returns found: false
- Verse range out of bounds for the specified chapter — returns found: false or empty passages
- Missing 'ref' query parameter — may return error or empty result
- Network timeout or upstream data source unavailable — HTTP 5xx error

## How this service works

Bible Passage Lookup (1,000+ translations, compare side by side). Bible passages by reference (John 3:16-18, Ps 23, 1 Cor 13:4-7, cross-chapter ranges) in 1,000+ openly licensed translations across hundreds of languages; compare up to 4 translations side by side, verse by verse, with section headings.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'found' boolean, the normalized 'reference' string, and a 'passages' array containing the scripture text and associated translation metadata for the requested Bible reference.
