Description
ESV CrossRef, once installed onto your website will scan your site for Old and New Testament Bible references. Once it finds a Bible reference on the page it will convert the reference(s) into a hover-able link! Each time a converted link is hovered over, a small pop up will appear containing the scripture reference. This plug-in is designed to include a single Javascript file into the footer.

Reviews
Doesn’t Support HTTPS
Bummer that this doesn’t work with https. I even went in and edited the plugin file to force https, but it just doesn’t work.
Nice on desktop, but no mobile support
It works well when I view the site on my laptop, but when I look on my cell phone, the Scripture references aren’t turned into links at all. There’s no linking and no popover effect, as if I hadn’t installed the plugin to start with.
