The Gospels word search

The Gospels: a free online word search

The Gospels word search, playable online with no sign-up, from Matthew through Acts, the roads of Galilee and the upper room in Jerusalem.

About The Gospels

Four writers, four voices, one story. Matthew writes for a community steeped in Hebrew scripture, while Mark moves with urgent, breathless energy from scene to scene. Luke, the careful narrator, carries the story straight into Acts, where a small band of witnesses fans out across the ancient world, carrying news that would reshape history. John opens not with a manger but with the very beginning: "In the beginning was the Word."
