BIBLE INTERCONNECTHow the New Testament links to the Old Testament
A count of the cross references that cross from one Testament to the other.
The New Testament was written by people steeped in the Old. This page measures that. Out of 341,290 cross references, 72,137 join an Old Testament passage to a New Testament one. These are the places where the two halves of the Bible touch most often.
Which Old Testament books the New Testament leans on
Psalms is first by a wide margin (12,356 links), then Isaiah (9,235), Genesis (4,350), Jeremiah (4,326) and Proverbs (4,249). The Psalms were the prayer book of Israel and of the first Christians, and the New Testament quotes them to describe Christ's suffering, kingship and praise. Isaiah is cited for the servant, the child and the coming kingdom. Genesis is cited for creation, Abraham and the fall.

Which New Testament books connect most to the Old
Matthew leads (9,321), followed by Luke (8,219), Acts (7,510) and Revelation (7,145). Matthew is written with the question 'how is this fulfilled?' in mind. Revelation contains almost no direct quotation, yet it is among the most linked, because nearly every image in it comes from the Old Testament prophets.

The 50 Old Testament verses most linked from the New Testament
Many are the prophecies Christians read as pointing to Jesus. Isaiah 9:6 (a child is born), Zechariah 13:7 (the shepherd struck), Genesis 3:15 (the seed of the woman), Daniel 9:24 (the seventy weeks), Isaiah 61:1 (good news to the poor) and the suffering servant of Isaiah 53 appear near the top. The list shows the data, not an interpretation: it records which Old Testament verses New Testament passages most often point back to.
