I searched in bible browser for  People/ a church, Reported speech / Jesus 

Got 19 hits in pericope 

Got 48 hits when I switched to verses 

Verses are not the same and what is the difference in the count?

    Pericopes are groups of verses that make up a single unit of study. The verse count should always equal or exceed that of pericopes.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    The Help web page states "Choosing to filter by verse applies the filter to individual verses and filtering by pericope applies the filter to larger sections. This means that the number of results for filtered terms will change depending on your selection."

    Apart from the hit count, I can't account for the different selections!
