VerseScrollHow study notes are made.
When you open a study in VerseScroll, the notes you read are built from sources the church has trusted for generations, and they stay clearly apart from the biblical text.
Where the notes come from
Four classic commentaries: Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary, Jamieson-Fausset-Brown, Barnes' Notes, and Keil & Delitzsch. Strong's lexicon for the words of the passage. The passage's cross-references. And the public-domain text of the passage itself. A note may draw only from these sources.
How they are assembled
AI helps draft each note using only those sources. Every draft is checked for accurate references, clear attribution, and translation-neutral wording before it is stored. We also review the notes ourselves.
Notes are written once in English and then carefully rendered into Spanish and Portuguese. They are not generated live, so every reader sees the same note and corrections reach everyone.
What they are, and aren't
Study notes are a reading companion, not a doctrinal authority. When Christian traditions differ, we name the view rather than present it as the only reading. They are no substitute for Scripture itself, your pastor, or your church.
If something seems off
Tell us. We read every report, and we take getting Scripture's context right as seriously as anything we do.
