5,317 verses gathered under eight headings. Each bar is one book; its height is how many verses in that book belong to the topic. Click a bar to read the list.
Each row is a topic. The sixty-six bars run in canonical order, Genesis on the left and Revelation on the right, so the shape of a row tells you where in scripture a theme is concentrated.
Rows are scaled individually. The tallest bar in each row is that topic's busiest book, so heights can be compared within a row but not between rows — the totals beside each heading give you that.
Click any bar for the full list of verses, and any reference to see what else that verse connects to.
A verse can belong to more than one topic. Of the 5,317 verses gathered here, 889 appear under two headings or more, which is why the eight totals add to more than the number of distinct verses.

Christ is the largest topic and the most concentrated. 1,601 verses, with 393 of them in John alone. The gospels carry the weight, but the row is not empty before Matthew: 157 of its verses sit in the Old Testament, and 124 of those are in Psalms and Isaiah.
Creation peaks where you might not expect. Not Genesis but Job, at 81 verses — the speeches from the whirlwind are sustained creation material, and they run longer than the opening chapters of Genesis.
Judgment and Mercy mirror each other across the Old Testament, rising together through the Torah and the prophets. They are the same passages read from two sides more often than not.
Restoration is the only row that finishes at its peak. Revelation carries 98 of its 520 verses, more than any other book in the row, which is what you would expect of a theme about how things finish.
The eight topics and the verses gathered under them are editorial: passages selected and grouped by hand, not counted from a reference work. The rest of this site measures what others recorded; this page presents a reading.
Every verse is named so the grouping can be checked. Quotations and references follow the King James Version, which is in the public domain and matches the versification used across the site. Each reference opens into the cross-reference data.
