Enter a Scripture reference in the Reference bar or browse the Parallel Gospel Reader to find the section you want to study. Hovering over a word/phrase in one of the synoptic accounts highlights the identical word/phrase in the other synoptic accounts. (The gospel of John is not linked to the synoptic accounts, so highlighted words/phrases do not appear in John or vice versa.
