WP-Bible

WP-Bible searches your posts and pages for any reference to a Bible passage and converts the reference to an actual biblical text – which can be any of the 38 translations (in 14 different languages) that you can see at BIBLIJA.net . Or, you can select that plugin only makes links to the biblical text.

No special tagging of biblical references is needed, the plugin recognizes different (up to 12) names for the same book in the Bible (for example: you can type Matthew 5:1-11 or Mat 5:1-11 or Mt 5:1-11 or you can even use other standards for marking biblical references like Mat 5,1-11.15-17;6,1-3. All this will do. Plugin then changes the reference for a link and when you click the link a small layer is shown above containing the biblical text. No opening other windows, no popups.

Installation

You must download wp-bible.zip and unzip the content to /wp-content/plugins/ directory. Then you must activate the plugin in the Plugins menu of your blog’s Administration panel.

The default bible version is World English Bible - WEB , if you want to change that, go to Options | WP-Bible and choose a version you want.

Using another plugin that does a similar thing is not advised.

Usage

When your plugin is activated just type the usual biblical references and the plugin will find them.

Usually they look like:

1. 01Mat 5:1-11
2. 02Mat 5:1-11.14.20
3. 03Mat 5:1-11.14-16;6,1-3 and similar

You can use many different book names, let’s see just an example for Gospel of Matthew: Mt, Mat, Matt, Matej, Matevž, Matthew, Matteüs, Matteus, Matthäus, Mateo. As you can see not only English names are supported. Please let me know if you’d like to add other book names that the plugin doesn’t recognize.
