See how Scripture connects

The Bible as a graph: every verse, and every person, place, theme and word behind it, linked to the passages that carry them. Built only from public-domain Scripture and openly licensed scholarship, generated mechanically, and free of accounts, advertising and tracking.

  • 12,751documents
  • 90,564connections
  • 31,102verses
  • 341,289cross references

Connections are counted as distinct pairs of documents. The graph stores each link with a direction, so the raw edge total is higher — 135,433 — and says less.

Reading the map

The map beside this page— open it with Graph in the top bar — is the whole corpus at once, and its shape is not decoration. It is a bunch of grapes, after John 15: one stem, many branches, all connected. The document for God hangs alone at the top. Everything else falls into a grape, the grapes run in canonical order from Genesis at the shoulders to Revelation at the tip, and inside each one the best-connected documents sit nearest the centre.

How the map is arrangedA bunch of grapes hanging from a single node. One circle per book of the Bible, running in canonical order from Genesis at the widest point down to Revelation at the tip, with the document for God alone at the stem above them.GodGenesisRevelation
One circle per book, sized by its chapters, in canonical order. The map itself draws one dot per document — every chapter, person, place, theme and word — grouped into a grape for the book that names it most.

It is a composed layout rather than a settled simulation, so position tells you where a document belongs, not how it connects. A person named across twenty books still sits in one grape — whichever book names them most. The links are the connections; the arrangement is the index.

What is in it

66 books and 1,189 chapters of the Berean Standard Bible, which is in the public domain. Behind them sit 7 sources, 3 datasets, 1 schema — every upstream dataset that made this, credited on the attribution page.

Across the testaments

341,289 cross references resolve to 141,124 links between chapters. 43,111 of them join a chapter in one testament to a chapter in the other — a little under a third of the whole corpus.

  • crossing the testaments
  • within one testament

The two directions are not mirror images: 29,564 references run from the New Testament back into the Old, against 42,692 the other way. See every one of them drawn at once →

  • judgeships

Lifetimes, reigns, judgeships and ministries, dated in years from Creation because that is the frame the source computes in. Each carries the arithmetic that produced its boundaries rather than asking to be taken on trust. Browse the chronology →

Where the sources disagree

777 of 1,342 places have more than one proposed modern location. Rather than pick one, every candidate is listed with the support behind it — Bethel 1, named in 69 verses, has three:

  • Al Bira99
  • Burj Beitin5

One name, many people

482 names are borne by more than one person, so every person carries a number and none of them are merged.

What it does not claim

  • Nothing here has been read by a person. Every document is generated from its sources and every trust signal in the data is a mechanical check.
  • Cross references carry no meaning. The corpus records that two passages are connected, never why. Where the data does not say, neither does this site.
  • Places are proposals, not answers. Competing identifications are shown with their support rather than resolved.
  • Nothing was written by a language model. There is no commentary here, and no theological position beyond the ordinary Protestant canon the sources use.

Take the data

All of it is available as a free, keyless, CORS-open REST API, and as an MCP server you can point an assistant at. The underlying bundle is plain markdown you could read without any of this.
