Learn MoreCross-references are one of my favorite features in a study Bible. Not all Bibles have them (Note-taker’s from LCBP), and not all Bibles have enough if they do have them (wide-margin from Hendrickson). Even if your Bible has plenty of cross-references, there’s always going to be a need for a reference that’s not included. For all of these situations it is best to make your own. The art of creating your own cross-references is a great Bible study method. Jonathan Ammon, of Bible Reading Project, has written an outstanding article on creating cross-references.

Oxford University Press just released the large print edition of the Scofield Study Bible III in New King James Version.

Mat 28:1-20 KJV In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. 2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. 3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. 5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.
