Where the connections lead

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

The gold bar shows how strongly the cross-reference sources tie the two verses together: a long bar means many compiled references make the connection, a short one means few.

Romans 8:28And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.Psalms 119:71It was good for me to be afflicted, that I might learn Your statutes.Genesis 45:5–8And now, do not be distressed or angry with yourselves that you sold me into this place, because it was to save lives that God sent me before you.Genesis 37:18–20Now Joseph’s brothers saw him in the distance, and before he arrived, they plotted to kill him.Acts 2:23He was delivered up by God’s set plan and foreknowledge, and you, by the hands of the lawless, put Him to death by nailing Him to the cross.Psalms 105:16–17He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food.Acts 3:13–15The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus. You handed Him over and rejected Him before Pilate, even though he had decided to release Him.Acts 3:26When God raised up His Servant, He sent Him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.”Genesis 37:4When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him.Proverbs 19:21Many plans are in a man’s heart, but the purpose of the LORD will prevail.Psalms 56:5All day long they twist my words; all their thoughts are on my demise.Genesis 45:5And now, do not be distressed or angry with yourselves that you sold me into this place, because it was to save lives that God sent me before you.Isaiah 10:7But this is not his intention; this is not his plan.

If calamity comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it?Philemon 1:15For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a while, so that you might have him back for good—2 Chronicles 11:4that this is what the LORD says: ‘You are not to go up and fight against your brothers. Each of you must return home, for this word is from Me.’” So they listened to the words of the LORD and turned back from going against Jeroboam.Acts 4:28They carried out what Your hand and will had decided beforehand would happen.

An echo of this verse
Acts 2:23
'Ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good'. Joseph's sentence is Peter's Pentecost logic: 'delivered by the determinate counsel... ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified.'
Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (public domain)
