Exegesis Biblica is the Online Encyclopedia of Sacred Scripture built for one purpose: to help you read the Bible verse by verse with zero commentary—so that Scripture explains Scripture.
The Father’s Bible
Jorge Carrasco grew up watching his father read the Bible every day. His father was a man of deep faith—marked pages, followed every footnote, prayed without ceasing. Jorge watched, but he did not follow. For years, he refused God. He rejected Him—many times.
Then his father died. And Jorge picked up his father’s Bible. He opened it. He saw the markings. One verse led to another. One book led to another. The entire Bible began to speak—not through commentary, not through a theologian’s opinion—but through itself.
That night, Jorge Carrasco fell to his knees and said: “I don’t know You. I feel You are a God for just some people—not for all. But if You are real—show me.”
God showed him.
Why Exegesis Biblica Was Created
Isaiah 6:8 became the founding moment—an answer to a call.
“Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”
“Here am I. Send me.”
— Isaiah 6:8
The Mission Begins — 52,000 Hours
Jorge Carrasco is a builder by trade—a general contractor who builds homes for other people for a living. Every weekday he worked construction from early morning. Every evening, from 6pm to midnight, he opened his Bible. Every Saturday, from 7am to midnight— 16 hours straight. Every Sunday after Mass, another 15 hours. More than 100 hours every week. For 14 years.
100+ hours per week × 52 weeks × 14 years = 52,000+ hours
Given to God. Freely. Without title. Without recognition.
The Sacrifice — A Mobile Home and a Printing Machine
Jorge Carrasco knows how to build a house. He builds them for other people every day. But he could not build his own home—because every dollar that could have built it went into the mission. Unable to afford a regular rental, he moved his family into a senior mobile home in Florida—not because he failed, but because he chose the mission over comfort.
In that mobile home, he set up a small printing machine and a cover machine. He learned to print his books in full color for $3 per book—so that monks with no income, seminarians with no funds, and rural communities with no internet could hold the Word of God in their hands.
The Hurricanes at the Door
Florida brought hurricanes. Not once—twice. The storms came to his door. Jorge Carrasco did not leave. He did not stop. He stayed at his desk, in his mobile home, with his Bible open and his printing machine running. The hurricanes passed. The mission continued.
The Rejections
Jorge Carrasco applied to become a deacon in the Catholic Church. His priest said no.
He brought his work to Barnes & Noble. They offered him $1 of every $17 sold. He walked away.
His wife saw the rejection. She looked at him and said: “Keep your faith. Always.”
He kept going.
— “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.” — Psalm 118:22
Three Months in Jail — God’s Purpose Hidden in Plain Sight
What was supposed to be three days became three months. Jorge Carrasco found himself in jail—and instead of asking why, he opened his Bible. Every morning at 6am, every noon at 12pm, every evening at 6pm, he was walking the gate, reading Scripture aloud.
A Muslim man watched him. Day after day. Finally he asked: “What are you reading?”
Jorge showed him the Book of Psalms—the Psalms of King David. The man had never read them. He was thirty years old and had never held the book his own Quran pointed to.
There was also a Jewish man in that cell. Jorge shared the Psalms with him too—and in the intimacy of confinement, reading together, the Jewish man recognized what the Psalms were pointing to: Jesus, the Messiah, the Son of David.
“God did not put me in jail as punishment. He put me there as a mission. The Muslim was already watching me at 6am. God had arranged the encounter long before I arrived.”

Suffering for the Sake of Christ
“Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you.”
“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.”
“For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.”
“But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.”
