Hello you all!
It’s good to find such a precious discussion here.
Recently I got to make work the Bible in Obsidian in the standard you’ve been discussing… That’s great!
I have one doubt.
With the snippet shared by Joschua, which allows us to see the verse linked only hovering the mouse over the link, how can I get two or more verses?
For example, if I link to [[John-3#v16]] and hover over it, it will show the verse text. But if I want to go a little further, e.g., John 3:16-19, how am I supposed to write so that I’ll have the whole text with all verses together when I hover the mouse over it?

Hi! I’m afraid this isn’t possible currently, nor do I think it will be possible in the future (hopefully I’m wrong about that). Linking to a particular header means isolating that header from other headers, so hovering over the link only shows that header and hides other ones. With Joschua’s setup, you can only link to one verse at a time.

However, some folks in the forum have shared about their workarounds for this, see: GitHub - mkudija/BibleGateway-to-Obsidian-Catholic: This script adapts jgclark's BibleGateway-to-Markdown script to export for use in Obsidian.

Over a year on, and this is fantastic. Amazing work. I’ve let my own work slide, but I’m hoping effectively to make my own Bible commentary, drawing on other sources. His is an interesting inspiration for organising information.

Is the snippet for the block quote style embed removed? I found a snippet further down but it is not combining them with the default theme

Appreciate the immense amount of work you have put into this!

I’m brand new to Obsidian and really liked the idea of having the Bible in my vault, super useful in many different use cases.
I also thought it would be great to have a Bible reading plan linking to said Bible, so I ended up creating a plan in a note with links the each section to read.
If anyone else might find that helpful, I’ll attach the note with my post here.

Bible Project - Reading Plan.zip (6.2 KB)

The minimal theme has moved on a fair bit since this CSS was written.

on iOS the H6 heading verse 'runs into" the text itself

I am not a programmer - but is it possible to simply “hide” heading H6 in embedded content (so we don’t see the verse numbers at all?)

Hello everyone, I have created a simple plugin for easier linking of multiple verses, you can find it in the community plugins in Obsidian and read more about it here.

It only works for bible in the format described here though.

Hi Saorsa, thank you so much for this plugin. I just started to use it and since I have been adding verse by verse my own “Spanish Bible”, it’s not complete yet. Some chapters starts at verse 5, 20, etc. On this cases, I got this warning:

Any thoughs? :laughing:

Hi, I’m not Saorsa, but whatever :grin:
As of right now, the plugin sadly won’t work with the format you have described, it just isn’t prepared for it. I updated the Requirements on GitHub.
I could add some less sophisticated command, that would just generate standard obsidian links, for example “![[Gen 1#1]![[Gen 1#2]]”, that would not depend on the content of the file at all. Would that be good for you?

So sorry! of course you are not Saorsa but kuckejak. Can you do that? If it’s not a huge thing, please let me know how can I use that simpler command
:upside_down_face:

if you would be so kind i would like to get the .zip from you!
