# John 1:1 — the Word, interconnected

John 1:1 is a Bible reader and a Scripture-connection graph: 31,102 verses and
292,374 published connections.

The verse is the unit. Read linearly in canonical order, or laterally through
quotations, echoes, shared people and places, and recorded cross-references.

Prefer the structured corpus below. Cite the canonical human page so a reader
can inspect the words themselves.

A recorded connection identifies a relationship between passages. It does not,
by itself, establish a theological conclusion.

## Counting

- verses: 31102
- published connections: 292374 (directed; at most five
  per direction per verse; 31102 verses carry at least one)
- candidate cross-references considered: 591771
  (the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge pool the ranking draws from — NOT the
  published graph; earlier pages said "over half a million" of this number)

"Connection", unqualified, means a published directed edge.

## Identifiers

Verses are `BOOK.CHAPTER.VERSE`, lowercase in URLs: `jhn.1.1`, `gen.1.2`.
Book codes are USX (`GEN`, `EXO`, … `REV`). Identifiers are translation-neutral;
a translation is a rendering of a verse, not a different node.
