How to use Connections
Read the rainbow. Every arc joins two chapters that speak to the same thing: a prophecy and its fulfillment, a quote, a shared word or idea. The bars along the bottom are every chapter in order, Genesis on the left and Revelation on the right. Taller bars mean longer chapters. Red arcs join chapters close together; violet arcs span the whole Bible.
Pick a chapter. Drag your finger along the bars, or choose a book and chapter from the menus. That chapter's arcs light up and the rest fade.
Follow a thread. Scroll down and tap any verse. The passages it points to open underneath, with the text right there. The number beside each verse is how many connections it has, strongest first.
While you read. In Read & Listen, the most-connected verses are tinted blue with a small ◠ beside the verse number. Tap the ◠ to see what that verse connects to, without losing your place.
Start where you are. Tap Where you're reading to jump straight to the chapter you're on in the reading plan.
A good habit: after each day's reading, open Connections, tap Where you're reading, and follow the one or two verses that stood out to you. Nothing here moves your place in the reading plan.

SourcesWhere everything comes from
Chronicle mixes three kinds of things, and you should always know which is which: the Bible text itself, the work of named scholars, and things written for Chronicle, some of it by AI. Here is every part of the app and where it came from.
BSB: Berean Standard Bible, public domain since 2023 (bereanbible.com).
KJV: King James Version, public domain (Pure Cambridge Edition).
ASV: American Standard Version (1901), public domain.
What’s ours
Nothing. The text is shown exactly as published. (In the KJV, the brackets that mark words the translators added are left out.)
Narration
ScriptureAI voice
ESV
Crossway’s own human-narrated ESV recording.
BSB, KJV, ASV & the book introductions
Read aloud by an AI voice made with ElevenLabs. It reads the words exactly as written, but it is not a person.
When that voice isn’t available
Your phone’s own built-in voice reads instead.
The chronological reading order
Written for ChronicleAI-assisted
Where it comes from
Built for Chronicle from the Bible’s own clues: dates in the text, psalm titles (“when he fled from Absalom”), and the parallel accounts in Kings and Chronicles. It also follows mainstream chronologies, such as Edwin Thiele’s dating of the kings.
Who made it
Put together with AI help. Where a placement isn’t obvious, the reason is shown right under the passage, and placements scholars debate are flagged.
Worth knowing
Other chronological Bibles order some passages differently, especially Job and many of the Psalms. That’s normal; nobody knows every date.
Book introductions
Written for ChronicleAI
Who wrote them
Written for Chronicle by AI, not copied from any study Bible. Authors and dates follow mainstream scholarship, and where those are debated the introduction says so.
How to use them
Like a friend’s summary before you read: helpful, but not an authority. The book itself is the authority.
Ask
AI
Where answers come from
An AI model (Meta’s Llama 3.3, run on Cloudflare). Nobody checks the answers before you see them.
Worth knowing
It can be wrong, and it can sound sure when it shouldn’t. Check what it says against the text.
Learn Theology
AI lessonHistoric sources
The lesson
Written by the same AI model as Ask.
The quotes beneath it
Word for word from the historic creeds and confessions, never written by AI: the Apostles’, Nicene and Athanasian Creeds, the Chalcedonian Definition, the Second Council of Orange, the Augsburg Confession, Luther’s Small Catechism, the Council of Trent, the Heidelberg Catechism, the Belgic Confession, the Thirty-Nine Articles, the Articles of Remonstrance, the Canons of Dort, the Westminster Shorter Catechism, the Baptist Confession of 1689 and the New Hampshire Baptist Confession, plus Anselm and Wesley. All public domain, mostly from Philip Schaff’s Creeds of Christendom on CCEL.org. Each quote was checked against its source by computer.
On purpose
Where Christians disagree (baptism, communion, election, the atonement), several traditions are shown side by side. Chronicle doesn’t pick a team.
Connections & blue verses
Scholarship
Where it comes from
Cross-references from OpenBible.info (CC BY), built on the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge (public domain, 1800s) and ranked by readers’ votes.
What’s ours
The cutoff for blue verses: a verse is tinted when its strongest connection has 30 or more votes (about 1 verse in 16). The rainbow follows Chris Harrison & Christoph Römhild’s Bible Cross-References (2007).
Words of Jesus in red
ScriptureMatched by computer
ESV
Crossway’s own red-letter markings.
KJV, ASV, BSB
Taken from the red-letter marks in a public-domain KJV (eBible.org), then matched onto the other translations by computer: 100% of verses for the KJV, 99.9% for the ASV, 99.1% for the BSB. A handful of BSB and ASV verses may be slightly off.
