* ''exegesis'' means "to explain" or "to interpret"
** its origin in the Greek ''exegeisthai'' more directly means "to draw out", which is a wonderful way to think about finding meaning in Scripture!
* here for sources that I use:
** BibleGateway
*** collection of various English translations of the Bible with an excellent search function
** New American Bible online by the United States Conference of Bishops
*** has useful footnotes and links connecting passages across the Old and New Testaments
** Catena Aurea by St. Thomas Aquinas
*** verse-by-verse interpretation of the Gospels from early teachers
*** collected by St. Thomas Aquinas
** NET Bible (defaults to Matthew 1)
*** excellent tool for Greek and Hebrew word origins of English translations
**** but finding the Books & Chapters is a little awkward, but it works once you get the hang of it
*** has "Notes" by Dr. Thomas Constable, with useful interpretations (Constable is a protestant minister so will not provide Catholic interpretations)
