You make references to bible content that readers can access on-line. To this you use what is call an "inter-wiki" link. This is just a shorthand for referencing the bible site:

Mark-up

Single Verse References

The simplest format is for a single verse:

    Bible:<book>+<chapter number>:<verse number>

An example of this would be

    Bible:John+3:16 

which results in Bible:John+3:16.

Multi-verse Passages

Within a Chapter

You can also reference ranges of verses as well. To do this you use the dash "-" character between the verses that start and end the passage.

    Bible:<book>+<chapter number>:<starting verse number>-<ending verse number>

For instance, to reference John chapter 3 verses 16 through 21, you can write:

    Bible:John+3:16-21

which results in Bible:John+3:16-21.

Across Chapters

You can span chapter as well in the following format:

    Bible:<book>+<starting chapter number>:<starting verse number>-<ending chapter number>:<ending verse number>

Bible Verse Lables

The inter-wiki format for the Bible references is not particularly clear for most readers, so it is useful to provide a more human readable label to the link. To do this use the [[ ... ]] link mark-up to add a label to the link. For instance you could use [[Bible:John+3:16 John chapter 3 verse 16]] which give you John chapter 3 verse 16.
