What is it?
Oct 29, 2014 Popcorn is a classic snack and children love hearing it and watching it pop-pop-pop! Did you know that popcorn makes the perfect tool for an object lesson? Take this opportunity to teach the kiddos an important Bible truth about what happens when God turns the heat up! Demonstrate how a hard, inedible seed becomes a fluffy, delicious treat. What I'm looking for is a program where I can mouse over a scripture verse in Word, and have a pop-up box that shows me what the verse says. It would be even the better if I could edit what the verse says in order to make the verse even more understandable to those who have trouble understanding what the scriptures say.
RcVCite makes looking up bible verses on a website or blog fast and easy.It is a Bible verse reference processor that locates verse references on any webpage.It displays the content of that verse when you click on a reference or your mouse moves over the reference.Move your mouse over this verse (or click it), John 3:16 for an example.
RcVCite retrieves verses by accessing a public API for the Text Only Edition of the Holy Bible Recovery Version published by Living Stream Ministry, Anaheim, CA;the terms of use for this API may be viewed here.

- Mar 05, 2010 New Scripture Pop-Up Program post date: March 5, 2010. However, you can use the Bible Reference Tool on the bottom right portion of the sermon index page to change the default to another English translation if you prefer. Once you change it, your computer will remember that version. And you can change it again later if you like.
RcVCite is in public beta which means it still may have problems to be worked out, but it is available for anyone to use.If you do try it and notice a problem, please consider writing the developer.
How to use it
- Add it to your blog or webpage for your viewers to use.
- Get the browser extension or bookmarklet.
Features and limitations
RcVCite was written to have some degree of flexibility.For verse references that have the book chapter and verse it works well.If your references depend on context, it may or may not get it correct because it may pickup.Verses that do not exist in the bible such as Philemon 2:1 will not be cited
Reference format
Verse references with the following formats will be recognized.Note that all the numbers use Arabic numerals (1,2,...,9,10,...).Roman numerals (I,II,III,...) and written numbers (one,two,three,...) are not supported at this time.
- Book or abbreviation followed by verse numbers:
Matthew 1:1; 8:1-13:52; 1 Jn. 1:2-3; Phil. 1:1-2:1 - v. or vv. followed by the verse number(s) (with a previously mentioned book and chapter):
(John 1) ... v. 1; vv. 1-3; v. 3:1; vv. 3:16-17; - Chapter, chap. or chapters followed by the verse numbers
John chap. 1 ... chapters 2 and 3 - Verse or verses followed by the verse numbers
Verse 4, verses 15, 16 and 17, verses 15 through 17 - References with a chapter colon and verses
1:1; 3:16,17
Some book abbreviations are accepted.You can test out abbreviations, verse references, and portions of text with RcVCite using the RcVCite Live Preview Tool bellow.
Context
RcVCite will remember the last mentioned book and chapter.Here is an example.
Revelation 22 is the last chapter in the bible.Verse 1 mentions a river of water of life.
If you include RcVCite.looseContext=true; RcVCite will recognize book names that are not a part of a verse reference.A book name followed by a chapter does not need this option to be recognized.Note RcVCite cannot distinguish between names of books and people.For example:
The book of Revelation was written by John.We can see this from v. 1:1 (Note that it references John 1:1 instead of Rev. 1:1).
Overlay styles
RcVCite comes with a sample style, RcVCite.css.You can change it to make the verse overlays match the style of your website.This tool allows you to preview changes to the styling.Note that it affects all the overlays on the page.
Options
These options are available in the settings for the Wordpress plugin or browser extension.If you have added RcVCite to your website using HTML, then the following options can be set prior to invoking RcVCite.cite();
- RcVCite.citeChapters=false;This is turned on by default.When turned on, RcVCite will links chapters without a verse number such as 1 John 1.
- RcVCite.hoverDelay=400;The hover delay sets how long the mouse must be over a verse reference before the text will appear and how long before the text it will be hidden once the mouse leaves the box.The first time the mouse moves over a reference the text for the verse is fetched, so it may take longer than the hover delay before the text of the verse appears.
- RcVCite.horzPad=5;This changes the minimum horizontal space on each side of the verse pop-ups.
- RcVCite.looseContext=true;When turned on, book names will be identified even if they are not a part of a verse or chapter reference.Note that RcVCite does not distinguish between brother John and the book of John.
- RcVCite.listInvalid=true;When true, invalid verse references will be printed to the JavaScript console along with the reason.A verse is considered invalid if the chapter, starting verse, or ending verse do not exist in the bible.
- RcVCite.ignoreFilter=function(HTML_DOM_element){ return false; };This can be set to JQuery selector such as '.rcvcite-ignore' or a JavaScript function which accepts a single parameter for the HTML node to test.This function should return true for nodes that should be ignored.Nodes that are ignored will not be checked for books, chapters, or verses.
