After clicking on the book, the list of verses should be a parallel list of the OT and NT verse(s).

For example, after clicking on Mark, Isa 40:3 should be listed next to Mk 1:2-3.

  A voice cries: 

              “In the wilderness prepare the way of the LORD; 

  make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Is 40:3.

As it is written in Isaiah the prophet,

              “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, 

  who will prepare your way, 

        3       the voice of one crying in the wilderness: 

  ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, 

  make his paths straight,’ ”

The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Mk 1:2–3.

After clicking on the book, the list of verses should be a parallel list of the OT and NT verse(s).

I think that BBE should be able to provide a parallel list as the Search result does not permit parallel lists. But wouldn't you list the 73 verses in Mark then the verses in the OT e.g.

Mark 1:2 Ex 23:20 Echo
—> Mal 3:1 Allusion
Mark 1:3 Is 40:3 Citation
Mark 1:6 2 King 1:8 Allusion
—> Zech 13:4 Allusion
Mark 1:11 Gen 22:2 Echo
—> Ps 2:7 Allusion
—> Is 42:1 Echo

The forum rich text editor is hopeless maintaining my table format

Note that only Mk 1:3 is parallel to Is 40.3 (as Citation). Mark 1:2 is parallel to Ex 23:20 (as Echo) and Mal 3:1 (as Allusion). Mark as a book is parallel to 113 OT verses (18 in Isaiah) e.g.
