How Cross-References works
The Bible is its own best interpreter. Give a reference and this tool gathers the passages that quote it, echo it, run parallel to it or carry the same idea further, with a line on why each one matters. It is a quick way to see how a promise in the prophets is picked up in the Gospels and letters.
