Read the Greek New Testament online
HackGreek is a reading-first environment for the Greek New Testament: the full SBLGNT text with tap-to-parse morphology, optional inline English, frequency glosses, and high-quality chapter audio — so you spend your time reading Greek, not flipping between a lexicon and a grammar.
A reader built for actually reading
Most tools turn the Greek New Testament into a parsing exercise. HackGreek keeps the text in front of you and puts help one tap away. Hover or tap any Greek word to inspect its lemma, full parsing, and contextual gloss in the study pane, then keep reading without losing your place. The goal is sustained reading at length — chapter after chapter — with just enough support to keep you moving.
Inline English
Toggle an English rendering beneath each verse for rapid Greek-to-English association, or hide it to test yourself.
Tap-to-parse morphology
Every word is morphologically tagged. Tap to see lemma, parsing, and gloss — no separate parsing guide needed.
Frequency glosses
Show glosses only for words below a frequency threshold you choose, so common vocabulary stays in Greek.
High-quality audio
Play, pause, and loop chapter or verse audio. Listen while commuting or follow along as you read.
How a reading session works
Pick a book and chapter from the reader. Read the Greek straight through; when you hit a word you do not know, tap it and the study pane shows you its parsing and gloss. Add unfamiliar words to your SRS flashcard deck with one click so they come back for review later. Turn inline English on when you want a safety net and off when you want to push your comprehension. When you want to train your ear, play the chapter audio and follow along, or loop a difficult verse until it sticks.
Who it is for
HackGreek fits seminary and university students keeping their Greek alive between semesters, pastors preparing from the Greek text each week, and self-taught readers working through the New Testament for the first time. If you have finished a first-year grammar and want to build real reading fluency, this is built for you. If you are just starting, pair the reader with the graded readers to ease in.
Frequently asked questions
Can I read the Greek New Testament online for free?
Yes. HackGreek opens directly to the Greek New Testament reader, and new accounts include a 7-day free trial with full access to audio, inline English, and the SRS flashcard tools. After the trial it is $7/month.
Which Greek text does the reader use?
The reader uses the SBL Greek New Testament (SBLGNT), a modern critical edition, with morphological tagging on every word so you can tap any form to see its lemma, parsing, and gloss.
Does it show English alongside the Greek?
Yes. You can toggle inline English beneath each verse for rapid association, and switch on frequency-based glosses that surface only for rarer words so common vocabulary stays in Greek.
Is there audio of the Greek New Testament?
Yes. Every chapter has high-quality audio you can play, loop by verse or chapter, and listen to in the car, while working out, or during focused study.
