Search help - how to look for Words coming from God in the text?

Richard Lyall

Calling all search ninjas (or Jedi if you prefer) ...  I am looking to find all instances where something is said about the God's Words e.g. "your word" or "my words" and so on. So far I have

<Person God>,<Person Jesus>,<Person Holy Spirit> << 1 words Word

However, this does not catch phrases such as "The Word of the Lord" and I'm sure there is a search syntax that connects the person of the Trinity as the source of the "word", regardless of the form of words in the text. I'd like to find this across both Testaments.

Can anyone suggest a way to do this using a Logos search?

Thanks!
Richard

Try this

(<Person God>, <Person Jesus>, <Person Holy Spirit>) WITHIN 2 words word

Thanks but that isn't really what I'm looking for. There is no guarantee that the words in question are spoken by God. I'm hoping to be able to make use of a more syntactically aware search that reliably connects the Words with God as speaker.

Try  (word BEFORE Lord) WITHIN {Speaker <Person God>}

The phrase "the word of the Lord"  will not be found because the Hebrew/Greek words used for {Speaker} do not contain "the" and/or "of".

However, compare its results with "the word of the Lord" or "my word".
