How to Find a Specific Verse in the Bible
Maybe youâve been to church all your life and youâve spent a lot of time in the Bible, or maybe youâre new to reading the Bible. But do you know how to find specific verses in the Bible?
Each verse in the Bible has a verse reference, which is kinda like the street address for your home.Â
First thereâs the book in the Bible itâs written in, like the city you live in.
Then thereâs the chapter number, the big number on the page;Â you can think of that as the street you live on.
And finally the verse number itself, the smaller number within the paragraph itself —Â thatâs like your house number.
So for John 3:16, go to the book of John (thatâs in the New Testament), find the big number 3 for the chapter, then look for the little number 16 for the verse!
