Exegesis is a Bible study app for readers who want to sit with a passage the way the church has for two thousand years. It launched on Google Play in August 2026 and is now also on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and in a web browser, and it puts commentaries, confessions, creeds, hymns, and letters from church history one tap away from the verse you are reading, most of it working fully offline.^1^4
Tap any verse and nine doors open beside it: commentary from 27 voices spanning Matthew Henry to Chrysostom, the 21 confessions, creeds, and catechisms that cite the passage, its cross-references (344,841 across Scripture), the 218 hymns that sing it, and 6,211 letters from 58 writers across nineteen centuries, Clement of Rome to Spurgeon.^1 Tap a single word to meet the Greek, Hebrew, or Latin behind it across 18 texts, with pronunciation and a chart of how translators rendered it everywhere it appears.^1 A guided daily devotional walks you through Scripture, catechism, a word study, a historic letter, and a hymn played from the actual engraved score.^1
Two premium tools weigh how passages connect: Reference Weight scores each thread between two verses, shared language, prophecy, theme, and highlights the very words that carry it in both passages, while Deep Synthesis weaves up to six cross-references into one cited analysis.^1 A sermon Journal transcribes any sermon or lecture you record or link, pins every Scripture citation to the second it was spoken, and quizzes you against the speaker's own argument.^1 The app also includes the complete KJV audio Bible for offline listening, flashcards for catechism, Scripture memory, and original languages, and home-screen widgets for the daily verse, catechism, letter, and hymn.^1
The app also includes an in-app AI study assistant that answers questions about the passage from the commentaries, confessions, and cross-references in the app.^3
Exegesis is built by Roberto Chavez Jr, a computer engineer who describes it as a Christian app made "to serve our God."^2 The core library is free; premium study tools, an optional Premium or Max subscription, and metered AI credits are optional in-app purchases, priced in the store before you buy.^3
