The words of Jesus

Is there a way to count the words of Jesus in the gospels, Acts and Revelation?

Welcome [:D]

Logos 4 can do a Bible search in Words of Christ for

a*,b*,c*,d*,e*,f*,g*,h*,i*,j*,k*,l*,m*,n*,o*,p*,q*,r*,s*,t*,u*,v*,w*,x*,y*,z*

Grid display shows verses:

Caveat: wild card searching takes awhile (close to 10 minutes).

Using Analysis to count words is limited by 10,000 result limit, which is substantially less than 783,024 results in 38,675 verses in 19 resources.  Searching individual Bibles can find count of English words that have Words of Christ tagging (e.g. ESV has 40,413 results in 2,042 verses).

By the way, Words of Christ has some variant tagging between different translations (e.g. John 21:23, Acts 10:13, 10:15, 11:7, 11:9, Rev 1:8).  Likewise noted 1 Cor 11:24-25, 2 Cor 12:9, and 1 Tim 5:18
