• A Bible Address
  To go directly to a Bible address, just type the address: Jn 3:16.

• Single Word
  To search for verses containing the word faith, type faith.

• Combination of Words (logical AND)
  To search for verses containing several words, type each word separated by spaces. To find verses containing both sister and brother, type sister brother. There is no support at present for alternate words (logical OR).

• Wildcards
  To search for occurrences of women or woman, use a question-mark for the variable character: wom?n. To search for variable endings, such as all words which begin with demon, use an asterisk to indicate the variable ending: demon*. This will find demon, demons, demoniac, etc.

• A Phrase
  To search for verses containing an exact phrase, place the phrase within quotes, for example: "For God so loved". (Currently, only a single phrase is allowed and it cannot be combined as a logical AND with other words.)

Linking to the Lookup Bible

To link from another document or web page to this Bible, insert a URL in the document or web page pointing to this page. This will bring you to the navigation control from which you can reach any verse in any book of the Bible.

To begin study automatically at a designated verse, append the Bible address as an anchor to the URL. For example, to open the study at John 3:16, the URL, when embedded in a document would appear as:

<a href="index.htm?John 3:16">John 3:16</a>

index.htm?John 3:16

(The browser entry would include any prefix to the file index.htm. For example, to look up the address at the SpiritAndTruth.org website, use:

https://www.SpiritAndTruth.org/lookup/index.htm?John 3:16

Most typical Bible book abbreviations will work, as will full book names. The separator between the chapter and verse may be any non-alphanumeric character and the verse itself is optional.

Here are a few additional examples:

<a href="index.htm?Zec 12 10">Zec 12:10</a>

<a href="index.htm?Revelation 9">Revelation 9</a>

<a href="index.htm?Ge 3.15">Ge 3.15</a>

Search for the word fish (only available when running from a webserver which supports PHP) :
<a href="index.htm?fish">fish</a>

A slightly different presentation is available by specifying index-.htm in place of index.htm in which case the bible text area is expanded to fill the entire window and the navigation controls in the upper portion of the window are not shown. The user must then use the button (or browser 'BACK' button) to select another bible address.
