Using the Network Map

Explore 340,000 cross-references as a living graph of connected verses.

The Network Map is an interactive graph of how scripture connects. It starts loaded with more than 340,000 scholarly cross-references from OpenBible.info, so it's alive from your very first visit.

Reading the map

  • Gold nodes are Bible verses.
  • Blue nodes are users.
  • Green nodes are published posts.
  • Purple nodes are concepts and themes.
  • Edges are connections — a cross-reference, a fulfillment, a parallel, and so on.

Explore

1
Open The Network from the sidebar (🕸️ Map on mobile).
2
Use the search box to jump to a verse or topic.
3
Click any gold verse node to open a sidebar with the verse text and its connections.
4
Pan, zoom, and filter by book, connection type, or source to focus the view.
🔗 New connections appear in real time. When you or anyone else draws a connection — for example, in Parallels — the edge is added to the map live.

Add your own connections

The map isn't just for reading. See Drawing verse connections to learn how to link two passages yourself and watch the edge appear.
