The Bible Search supports a rich syntax to help you find verses quickly. Below are the operators and wildcards you can use:

Finds verses containing both "jesus" and "wept" in any order.
- Logical NOT / Exclude: Excludes verses containing the term after the minus sign. jesus - wept
Finds verses containing "jesus" but NOT "wept".
| Logical OR: Finds verses containing either term. grace | mercy
Finds verses containing "grace", "mercy", or both.
% Multi-character Wildcard: Matches zero or more non-space characters. behav%
Matches "behave", "behaved", "behaveth", "behavior", etc.
_ Single-character Wildcard: Matches exactly one single alphabetical character. h_t
Matches "hat", "hot", "hit", etc.
" " Exact Phrase: Wraps a search term in double quotes to find an exact match for the entire phrase. "in the beginning"
Finds verses containing exactly "in the beginning" with no variations.
