3 Ways to "Dig Deeper" with Bible Gateway
- Tip 1: Compare Translations Side-by-Side
When you click a link from our guide, use the "Add Parallel" button (on desktop) or the "Parallel Mode" (on mobile) to view two or more translations at once. Comparing a literal translation like the ESV with a more contemporary one like the NLT can offer a fresh perspective on Peter’s journey. - Tip 2: Use the "Resources" Tab for Context
Once you’re on the Bible Gateway page, look for the "Resources" or "Study" tab. This often provides free access to book introductions and historical summaries that explain the "who, what, and where" of the passage—perfect for understanding the world Peter lived in. - Tip 3: Follow the "Sigla" for Cross-References
Notice those small letters or numbers next to the words in the text? Those are called sigla. Clicking them will reveal cross-references that link the verse you’re reading to other parts of the Bible. This allows "Scripture to interpret Scripture," helping you see how Peter's experiences in the Gospels connect to his later letters.
