Getting results when entering more than one bible reference

Is it possible to enter multiple bible references and get a result?  I am not having any luck.

An example would be:  John 3:1-8; Acts 2:38; Acts 19:1-4

If I enter more than one reference in the mobile app, I don't get anything.  

Thanks!

    No. Logos works from a single continuous bible reference

    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."

    It should work it you make them part of a Passage List.

    I am surprised at the mobile app will not allow more than one reference to be entered.

    We are reading the harmony of the gospels for our Bible reading. It would be nice to be able to enter all of the passages for that day and have them come up with one search so you can scroll continuously through.

    I did find a workaround. You can use the reference scanner. I took a snapshot or screenshot of the references I’m reading that day, those references all appear contiguously. You cannot amplify from a word on that particular screen though. That is not a big deal though, if you want to further investigate the verse you can just click on the reference and it’ll take you to the Bible.

     This is one good thing about having new experienced users. The obvious strengths can be appreciated but also some weaknesses or perhaps “missing“ features are also recognized quickly and can be requested that our experience can be enhanced.

    Hello!

    Thank you for the reply.

    Did you have to enter those individually and then add them to the passage list via the menu?

    To take the screenshot that I included, I entered them one at a time using the + sign that you see in the upper right area. There may be a simpler way to include a list, although you may need to use the desktop app to create the Passage List in order to do that.

    Remembered that I made a note about how I had constructed a personal reading plan a couple of years ago. One of the intermediate points was a Passage List. Here are the contents of my notes.

    Constructing a Personal Reading Plan

    1. Create a list of scripture passages using Writer (Word), Calc (Excel) or a plain text document.
    2. Transfer the list to a plain text document (.txt) either directly or by making a copy of the list in a Note and export the Note to a text file.
    3. Create a Passage List and import the plain text document.
      1. Start a new Passage List
      2. Click Add and select “… a file”
      3. Select the plain text document
    4. Create a Reading Plan and import the Passage List
      1. Start a Reading Plan and select Custom Reading Plan
      2. Click Add and select “… a Passage List”
      3. Select the Passage List
      4. Set the date to start the plan
