About this converter
Bible verse totals run 13 to 2461 across the 66 book Protestant canon. Psalms tops the set at 2461. Genesis follows at 1533. Jeremiah holds 1364, Isaiah 1292, Numbers 1288 and Ezekiel 1273. Luke leads the later books at 1151, followed by Matthew at 1071, Acts at 1007 and John at 879. Short books close the set, with 2 John at 13, 3 John at 15, Obadiah at 21 and Jude and Philemon at 25 each. Every row pins the standard chapter verse division used across mainstream Protestant editions.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first verses, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total verses. Try 1 Psalms against 2 Johns to see the wide gap. All rows use Verses, so the unit stays fixed.
This set is verses only and is distinct from bible-book-chapter-counts, which rows chapters for the same 66 books. Rows cover the 66 book Protestant canon only. Catholic and Orthodox canons add books, so those books stay out. Verse divisions can shift by one in some editions for Psalms and a few other books, so rows pin the common Protestant numbering. Totals match the familiar 31102 sum.
