----'''<big>Biblical exegesis (study) resources</big>'''
* ''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:
** [https://www.biblegateway.com/ BibleGateway]
*** collection of various English translations of the Bible with an excellent search function
** [https://bible.usccb.org/bible New American Bible] online by the United States Conference of Bishops
*** has useful footnotes and links connecting passages across the Old and New Testaments
** [https://www.ecatholic2000.com/catena/ Catena Aurea by St. Thomas Aquinas]
*** verse-by-verse interpretation of the Gospels from early teachers
*** collected by St. Thomas Aquinas
** [https://netbible.org/bible/ NET Bible] (defaults to Matthew 1)
*** excellent tool for Greek and Hebrew word origins of English translations
*** also has "Notes" by Dr. Thomas Constable, with useful interpretations (Constable is a protestant minister so will not provide Catholic interpretations)
