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.

Psalms 14:3All have turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.Romans 5:8But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.1 Peter 2:25For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.1 Peter 3:18For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit,Psalms 119:176I have strayed like a lost sheep; seek Your servant, for I have not forgotten Your commandments.1 John 1:8If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.Ecclesiastes 7:20Surely there is no righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.Isaiah 55:7Let the wicked man forsake his own way and the unrighteous man his own thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that He may have compassion, and to our God, for He will freely pardon.Romans 4:25He was delivered over to death for our trespasses and was raised to life for our justification.Isaiah 55:8“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD.Romans 3:10–19As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one.James 5:20consider this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and cover over a multitude of sins.John 10:11I am the good shepherd.

An echo of this verse
1 Peter 2:25
'All we like sheep have gone astray... returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls': near-verbatim, inside the 1 Pet 2:22-25 cluster
1 Pet 2:25 reworking Isa 53:6; Laniak 2006 (cite-only)
A picture of Christ
Leviticus 16:21
On the Day of Atonement the live goat carries “all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited” (Lev 16:21–22); Isaiah says “the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all” (Isa 53:6). The same sin-bearing verb carries both: nasaʾ, “to bear”: the goat “shall bear upon him all their iniquities” (Lev 16:22), and the Servant “hath borne our griefs” (Isa 53:4) and “bare the sin of many” (53:12). Isaiah adds a second verb of his own, sabal, “to carry as a load” (53:4, 11). The Epistle of Barnabas already reads the two goats of Leviticus 16 of Christ.
thematic/lexical; Epistle of Barnabas 7 (PD)

Where scholars push back(1)

Leviticus 16:21. Who or what “Azazel” names in Leviticus 16 (a place, a demon, or the goat's own removal) is disputed, and the answer changes how far the picture can be pressed.

Jesus: Titles & Roles

No single title carries him. Scripture names Jesus by a constellation of titles — Christ, Son of Man, Lamb of God, Logos, High Priest, King of Kings — and each one is a door. This hub gathers every title page on the site and anchors the rest to the verses that confer them.
