Films
Every film here is drawn by Biblion from its own data: the texts it reads, the numbers under them, the cross-references between them and its commentary. Nothing in them is generated by AI. Each also plays on the page it explains, which is named under it.
Biblion
Scripture in the film is quoted from the World English Bible (WEB), with the King James, American Standard, Basic English, Geneva and Tyndale texts beside it. The cross-references are the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, in the public domain, and the map is Biblion’s own Gospels plate, whose sources About names under The maps. The picture is drawn by Biblion from its own data and drawings, nothing in it generated by AI and nothing filmed from a screen; the narration is a synthetic voice reading a written script, and the music was composed with ElevenLabs.
Biblion in one verse, John 1:29: six translations side by side, the Greek word by word, 58 cross-references in a web of 376,162, a commentary that says how sure it is, search by meaning, and the place on a map. Its page: About.
The texts
The film’s figures are the library as it stood in September 2026, when the film was made; the tables on the Listen to the Bible page are counted afresh on every visit. Its three readings are the site’s own recordings, played as a reader hears them and lit by the same verse timings: Isaiah 43:1–2 in the World English Bible (WEB), John 1:9–10 in the American Standard Version (ASV), and John 1:9 in the Greek Textus Receptus (GTR). The picture is drawn by Biblion from its own audio and text, none by hand and none generated by AI; the narration is a synthetic voice reading a written script, and the music was composed with ElevenLabs.
Every chapter of the Bible drawn as time: the King James Version runs 83.7 hours and Psalm 119 seventeen and a half minutes, and Biblion reads it all in four translations and in Hebrew and Greek, 412 hours in all. Then three of its own readings, each verse lit as it is read. Its page: Listen to the Bible.
The film’s numbers are the site’s own: the Strong’s numbers its King James Version (KJV) carries, counted and drawn from the same tagging the Strong’s numbers page looks up, and the entries are Strong’s own lexicon, in the public domain. The Hebrew of Genesis 1:1 is the Westminster Leningrad Codex (WLC), and the Greek of John 21 and John 3:8 the Greek Textus Receptus (GTR); the Greek reading is the site’s own recording of John 21:17, played as a reader hears it. The picture is drawn by Biblion from its own data, none by hand and none generated by AI; the narration is a synthetic voice reading a written script, and the music was composed with ElevenLabs.
The 351,765 Strong's numbers under the King James Version, in all 31,100 of its verses, lead to 14,191 Hebrew and Greek words. Followed to their words, they show what English cannot: two Greek verbs behind the three questions of John 21, and one word for both the wind and the Spirit in John 3:8. Its page: Strong’s numbers.
Every figure is counted by Biblion over every word of its own texts: the share of each Bible’s words that stand, in the same order and with spelling set aside, in the one it was made from. The texts are the Tyndale Bible (1534), the Geneva Bible (1587), the King James Version (its 1769 text), the American Standard Version (1901) and the World English Bible, all in the public domain. A sampled collation published in 1998 put the King James New Testament’s debt to Tyndale higher, at 83.7 percent. The picture is drawn by Biblion from those texts, none by hand and none generated by AI; the narration is a synthetic voice reading a written script, and the music was composed with ElevenLabs.
Five of the English Bibles on Biblion form one line, each made with its forerunner open: Tyndale's, the Geneva, the King James, the American Standard and the World English Bible. Counted word by word, 79 in every 100 words of the King James New Testament are Tyndale's, and more than half of the World English Bible's still are. Its page: Biblical texts.
The cross-references
The cross-references are the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, which is in the public domain, and the film adds them in the order readers voted for them at OpenBible.info, whose votes are used under a Creative Commons Attribution licence (CC BY). Scripture in the film is quoted from the King James Version (KJV). The picture is drawn by Biblion from its own database, one arc for each cross-reference, none by hand and none generated by AI; the narration is a synthetic voice reading a written script, and the music was composed with ElevenLabs.
One line is the whole Bible: 66 books and 31,103 verses, Genesis to Revelation. Every arc joins a verse to another verse it points to. There are 376,162 of them, and none is invented. Its page: Bible cross references.
Echoes & quotations
The echoes and the quotations are Biblion’s own datasets, set out with how they were found under Echoes and quotations; every arc in the film is one of them, drawn where its two verses stand. Scripture in the film is quoted from the King James Version (KJV). The picture is drawn by Biblion from those datasets, none by hand and none generated by AI; the narration is a synthetic voice reading a written script, and the music was composed with ElevenLabs.
Some words are almost never used, and when one stands in only a few verses, those verses are bound together by it: 16,444 such echoes touch more than one verse in four, 5,797 of them crossing from the New Testament back to the Old through the Septuagint. Then the 404 times the New Testament quotes the Old outright, most often Psalm 110:1. Its page: Echoes and quotations.
The commentary
The shapes in the film are the ones the Biblion Bible Commentary marks, each drawn where its verses stand. Scripture in the film is quoted from the World English Bible (WEB). The picture is drawn by Biblion from the commentary’s own data, none by hand and none generated by AI; the narration is a synthetic voice reading a written script, and the music was composed with ElevenLabs.
Read the Bible quickly and every passage runs by in a straight line. Read it slowly and some turn out to be built like a mirror. The Biblion Bible Commentary marks 38 of these shapes, and this film draws every one. Its page: The commentary.
The film draws every citation the Biblion Bible Commentary makes: those that reach another passage as arcs, those into the passage being explained as light along the line. Scripture in the film is quoted from the World English Bible (WEB). The picture is drawn by Biblion from the commentary’s own data, none by hand and none generated by AI; the narration is a synthetic voice reading a written script, and the music was composed with ElevenLabs.
Every verse the Biblion Bible Commentary reaches for, drawn as an arc: 19,939 citations from its 3,031 comments, beginning with Exodus 34:6, "merciful and gracious", and leaning, plainly, on Daniel and Revelation. Its page: The commentary.
People & places
The people, places, families and events are the Theographic Bible Metadata of Robert Rouse, used under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike licence (CC BY-SA 4.0), and this film, drawn from them, is shared under the same licence. Its figures are Biblion’s own count over that data and the site’s canon, and Scripture in it is quoted from the World English Bible (WEB). The picture is drawn by Biblion from that data, none by hand and none generated by AI; the narration is a synthetic voice reading a written script, and the music was composed with ElevenLabs.
Everyone the Bible names and everywhere it happens: 3,068 people and 1,256 places. More than half of its verses name someone, 1,683 people are named only once, one line of fathers runs unbroken from Adam to Jesus, and its places reach from Tarshish to India. Its page: People & places.
