Citations by content Experimental
This page is experimental: the groups come from a curated list that is still being checked, and how they are counted may change.
Some texts stand in the Bible more than once: the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5, the greatest commandment in the Law and in the Gospels, sayings of Jesus in two or three Gospels, Old Testament words quoted in the New Testament, lists of names told twice. Here the citations of every verse with the same text are added up and shown under the verse cited most. The bar beside it gives each verse its own colour, so you can see how the citations are shared between them.
Citations are the explicit verse references of the official data profile in the current statistics run, as in the Top 100. A verse that holds several repeated texts (Romans 13:9 holds several commandments and the love of neighbour) counts in each of their groups.
Each colour is one verse of the group, the most cited first; grey stands for the further verses of a large group. The verses are listed with their citations under each title.
| Rank | Most cited verse, the text and its verses | The citations of every verse of the group, added up. | The citations of the verse the group is shown under (its most cited verse). | Bar |
