bible-cross-references
453 curated thematic Bible cross-references, multilingual (en/pt/es), CC-BY 4.0.
Quality-first dataset: 453 hand-picked cross-references, each connecting a source verse to related passages with a short description of the theme that links them. Differs from OpenBible.info's classic dataset (~340 thousand algorithmically-extracted references) by favoring precision over completeness. Labels and descriptions in three languages (Portuguese, English, Spanish). Book identifiers follow the same 1–66 scheme as bible-data, so the two datasets fit together directly. Useful for Bible study, search-engine snippets, and any application that needs to surface "verses on the same theme" without the noise of an algorithmic base.
