Use this code: <bible book="(name)" chapter=(X) verse1=(first verse) verse2=(last verse) /> to quote any biblical passage you wish!
Verse2 is an optional argument, if you only want one verse. Here are some examples of use:
<bible book=Genesis chapter=1 verse1=1/> gives:
<bible book="Numbers" chapter=1 verse1=1 verse2=3/> gives:
[edit] Known bugs features
This extension is not perfect, and there are a few problems:
- The text does not show up in diffs, although the link part does.
- If the book linked has a space in its name (eg "2 Samuel") the link will not work properly - it will not go to the section, only the page:
Further bugs should be reported here.
[edit] Bible links
If you just want the link, but not the text, try {{bible}}:
{{bible|1 Samuel|2|12}}produces: 1 Samuel 2:12.{{bible|Matthew|16|21}}produces: Matthew 16:21.
You can work out the rest from there.
[edit] Everything is easier on a Mac
There's apparently an AppleScript and a Mac OS X service available that'll convert Biblical references into links to the Annotated Bible. Contact Concernedresident if you'd like to obtain the latest version. (Supposedly you can get it from here, but the link provided there gives a 404 error. This old revision of the page contains something that is probably it, however.)
