RationalWiki:Annotated Bible

This is the home of RationalWiki's Annotated Bible. The text used is the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible, which at ~400 years old is now safely in the except in the UK. All of the books in the KJV version of the Old Testament were originally written in Hebrew except for Ezra and Daniel, which were written in Hebrew and Aramaic; other canons have additional text from Aramaic and Greek. The New Testament was originally written in Koine Greek. {|style="background-color: #FF8C26; width: 100%; border-radius: 1em;"

Everything is easier on a Mac
There's apparently an AppleScript and a macOS service available that'll convert Biblical references into links to the Annotated Bible. Contact Concernedresident if you'd like to obtain the latest version. (Supposedly you can get it from here, but the link provided there gives a 404 error. This old revision of the page contains something that is probably it, however.)
