Word Occurrences

Returns every KJV word (or word-group) for a resolved reference, in order, with its Strong's number where one exists. Rows with no underlying original-language word (translators' supplied words) carry a null strongs_number rather than being omitted.

Note: this endpoint returns JSON only.

Parameters

reference (required) — Bible reference in plain text, such as John 3:16 or Romans 12.
