The Bible module

Bible

The Bible class is the the main class of the module and the one responsible to return the verses. It has the following methods:

  • matthew

  • mark

  • luke

  • john

class pytholic.bible.bible.Bible[source]

Contains the 4 gospels of the New Jerusalem Bible Edition

These gospels are represented by the following methods: matthew(), mark(), luke() and john(). They receive three arguments, the first one is for the chapter number, the second one for the verse number and an optional third argument can be passed, it represents a final verse, for example, Matthew 1, 1-5, that “5” would be represented by the final verse, the third argument.

>>> bible = Bible()
>>> print(bible.matthew(1, 1))
Roll of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham:

>>> print(bible.mark(1, 1, 2))
