The hyperlinked Bible

Every cross-reference in the Bible, on one screen

Every arc below is a cross-reference, one place in Scripture reaching to another. There are 344,754 of them, spanning all 1,189 chapters from Genesis on the left to Revelation on the right. The bars along the bottom are the chapters. The color of each arc tracks how far it reaches, so the long threads running the whole width are the Old Testament calling ahead to the New.

Drawing 344,754 connections…
Hover a chapter to light up its connections. Scroll to zoom, drag to pan, click an arc to open it.

Hover a chapter to light up everything it connects to. Scroll to lean in, drag to move, and click any arc to open both verses and a short reading of why they are tied together. When you find something worth sitting with, open it in the Bible reader.

The arc-diagram idea comes from Chris Harrison and Pastor Christoph Römhild, who first visualized biblical cross-references this way in 2007. The cross-reference data is from OpenBible.info under a Creative Commons Attribution license. Verse text is the World English Bible.
