Is there a way to search just the words of Jesus in e-Sword? Example: I want to see all the times Jesus said "repent" but I don't want all the other "repents." If this is not possible, it would be a great addition.

 

Thanks,

You need a Red Line Bible like in some King James versions or Niobi Study Bible.

 

For the words of Jesus in a Red Line Bible: type \cf6 repent in the search for "all the words"

For the Niobi Study Bible:select the New Testament and  type \cf12 repent in the search for "all the words".

 

With "partial match" have you also "repentance,repents,repented,repenting"

 

You can highlight another translation by changing the Bible tab and hover over the verse-numbers (if  options\Scripture Tooltip is set on "Active Translation")

Keep in your mind that Jesus spoke no English (synonyms are possible) and that many Bibles translate "Amen" as "truly" or "verily" or "so it be"

There are at least two ways to do so, both involve using "red letter" translations (where the words commonly believed to be spoken by Christ are shown in red).

 

The easiest is to simply search for the word in the Gospels and Acts (where Christ is directly cited) and make note of the quotes that show up in red.

 

The second is the one I once saw recommended by one of the wonks, it involves searching for the word and the code for red font (I cannot recall that, as I use the other way to search).
