Parallel verses
Verses whose wording recurs elsewhere in the Bible, found by comparing the text of Bible editions word for word (the parallel map). The shares count verses: a verse counts once, however many places repeat it. References and numbers only, no Bible text.
Verse sequence: Protestant canon, 66 books (KJV numbering). Counts and denominators depend on it.(definition)
Crosslinks in this selection: 2,165
A crosslink is a pair of verses that share wording and pass the chart options above; each pair counts once. Per book and per chapter a pair counts for both its verses, so the rows add up to more than the total.

How this is computed
The parallel map compares the text of each edition with itself and finds stretches of wording that recur: identical (the same words), nearly identical (a few words differ) and similar (most words shared). Stock phrases are short wordings that recur in 10 or more places; a pair whose verses share only such a phrase is marked as one and counts only when stock phrases are chosen (see “Wording” above). A composed text basis takes, for each pair of verses, the strongest match of its editions, so it finds more places, never fewer.
A pair has no direction: it counts for the books of both its verses. On arrival a pair counts only when its two verses lie in different books; tick “Count repetitions within the same book” under Chart options to count repeats inside one book as well. These are repeats of wording found by comparing texts, not cross-references chosen by editors, and not citations.
