KJV Verse of the Day

Today's verse, in the King James Version. One verse per day, drawn from a curated pool of 417 passages — the same verse all day, for every reader, and it changes at midnight your time. Yesterday's and the recent days' verses stay below so nothing is lost.

Quick answer: The KJV verse of the day rotates from a curated pool of 417 well-known passages — one per day, stable for the whole day, changing at local midnight. It is drawn by date, not by popularity or clicks, so everyone reading this page on the same date sees the same verse. The last seven days remain listed below, and the full random-verse tool can generate unlimited extra verses.

What "verse of the day" means here

Verse-of-the-day pages usually fall into one of two patterns: a hand-picked editorial verse or an endless carousel of the same fifty famous passages. This page does something more boring and more honest: it maps today's date to one of 417 curated verses in a fixed cycle. The verse does not depend on how many people visit, what is trending, or how many times you reload — refresh at noon and it is the same verse; come back tomorrow and it is the next one.

The practical result is a daily reading rhythm with no editorial treadmill: the sequence is fixed in advance, and the site does not need to pick favorites each morning.

About the King James Version

The King James Version was published in 1611 and is one of the most printed books in the English language. Its phrases — "the valley of the shadow of death," "a light unto my path," "the greatest of these is charity" — have shaped English for four centuries. It is also in the public domain, which is why sites like this one can display and share its text freely and why it remains the default translation for quotation.

Some of its vocabulary has shifted meaning since 1611 ("careful" meant anxious; "prevent" meant precede), which is why every verse card here offers a World English Bible toggle for the same passage in modern wording.

How the daily cycle works

The pool holds 417 curated verses. Day one of the cycle takes verse one, day two takes verse two, and so on; after the 417th day the cycle restarts. The verse is computed from your local calendar date in the browser, so it changes at midnight in your time zone, and the server does not need to update anything at midnight — which also means the page loads at the same speed at 12:01 AM as at noon.

The seven-day archive below is computed the same way, from the same fixed order — so as long as you know today's verse position, you can derive any other day's verse from the pool.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the verse of the day chosen?
It is date-seeded: your local date maps to a fixed position in a curated pool of 417 verses, so the same date gives the same verse for everyone and the verse changes once per day at local midnight. There is no editorial selection, no trending logic, and reloading the page cannot change it.
Why a 417-verse pool and not a full-Bible draw?
Because a full-Bible random draw produces genealogy and legal code most days. The 417-verse pool is hand-curated so each day's verse can stand alone as a reading and an encouragement — the trade-off (curated, not uniform) is stated openly. If you want the uniform version, the Random Bible Verse tool draws from all 31,102 verses.
Is the KJV verse of the day the same as the WEB one?
It is the same schedule — the same pool position for the same date — shown in the King James Version on this page and in the World English Bible on the WEB page. The two pages show the identical verse in different translations, so readers of either can follow along with the other.
Can I subscribe to a daily verse email?
Not yet — email delivery is a planned feature, and this site deliberately ships features only when they work reliably. What exists today: this page (bookmark it as your daily read), the seven-day archive below, and the RSS-friendly structure of the site. An email-me-a-verse option may be added later; when it is, it will be a plain opt-in form on this page.
