Dokimazo (δοκιμάζω) is a Greek word used in the New Testament meaning “to test, to examine, to prove genuine.” The apostle Paul wrote to the Thessalonians: “Test all things. Hold fast what is good.” (1 Thessalonians 5:21, KJV). This verse is our mission.
The Dokimazo Project is a free Bible study and research platform built on one principle: let the evidence speak for itself. We bring together scripture in multiple translations, archaeological discoveries, historical records, and manuscript evidence — all sourced, cited, and verifiable. We don't tell you what to believe. We present what the text says, what the evidence shows, and let you examine it for yourself.
This platform is built for everyone — but especially for skeptics. The founder was one. If the Bible's claims are true, they should withstand scrutiny. Every feature on this platform is designed to make that scrutiny easier: study scripture across seven translations, trace Old Testament prophecies written on scrolls that predate Jesus by centuries, explore archaeological evidence with academic sources, and see what Jesus himself said about the Law.
The Dead Sea Scrolls, discovered in 1947, contain copies of Isaiah, Psalms, and Daniel dating to the 2nd and 3rd centuries BCE — hundreds of years before Jesus was born. These scrolls contain messianic prophecies that describe in detail events that would later occur: a birth in Bethlehem, a ministry of healing, a betrayal for thirty pieces of silver, a suffering servant pierced for the transgressions of others, and a death alongside criminals with burial in a rich man's tomb.
The Ketef Hinnom Silver Scrolls, dating to the 7th century BCE, contain the oldest known text of scripture. The En-Gedi Scroll, found burned in a synagogue, preserves Leviticus from the 3rd century CE. These are physical objects you can see in museums today.
On the other side, the historical existence of Jesus is confirmed by non-Christian sources: Tacitus, a Roman historian writing in 116 AD; Josephus, a Jewish historian writing around 93 AD; and Pliny the Younger, a Roman governor writing in 112 AD. The Pilate Stone, discovered in 1961 in Caesarea, confirms the existence of the Roman governor who sentenced Jesus. The Caiaphas Ossuary, discovered in 1990, bears the name of the high priest who presided over Jesus's trial.
The prophecies predate the man. The man is historically confirmed. The platform lets you examine both — sourced, cited, and verifiable.
Study Scripture across seven Bible translations with 344,000 cross-references. Explore 103 archaeological and historical evidence entries. Walk through 195 Old Testament messianic prophecies sourced from Alfred Edersheim's scholarship. Read the book of Revelation with 226 curated scholarly allusions traced to their Old Testament sources. Study the Torah alongside every New Testament passage that references it — with a filter to see only what Jesus said. Explore biblical maps, timelines, and the people who shaped the story.
Every archaeological finding includes its source publication and acceptance level. Every messianic prophecy is sourced from published scholarship, not AI-generated connections. Scripture text comes directly from verified Bible translations in our database. No AI-generated theology appears anywhere on this platform.
