Red letter edition

A Red Letter Edition refers to a version of the Bible in which the words spoken by Jesus are printed in red ink, making them stand out from the rest of the text. This design helps readers easily identify Jesus’ direct quotations and teachings. The practice originated in the late 19th century as a way to highlight Jesus’ words and facilitate focused study or devotional reading. Red Letter Editions are available across different Bible translations and are popular among those wanting to emphasize the teachings of Jesus within the biblical text.
