Scriptuna – ESV CrossRef and Search Tool

Scriptuna is a cross-reference and search tool that lets you get automatic verse references on websites and search for occurrences of Bible texts or passages in the English Standard Version Bible.

Cross-referencing

When you hover over bible verses, a pop-up box will appear with the bible text. Since Scriptuna uses the ESV cross-referencing tool, it’s intelligent enough to get scripture references of the following format.

• Full references (e.g., John 3:16)
• Abbreviated references (e.g., Jn 3:16)
• Multiple, sequential verses (e.g., Ephesians 1:3-14)
• Multiple, non-sequential verses (e.g., Psalm 116:1,3,5)

Passage/text Search Tool

The search tool enables you to quickly search for texts or passages from the toolbar. 

Since it uses the ESV API, you’ll need the API key from ESV.

You can get a free API key for personal use by creating an account on api.esv.org
