When I do a Bible search with this syntax (person:Jesus INTERSECTS lemma.g:κηρύσσω) the result fails to bring up passages such as Matt 4:17, Matt 9:35, Matt 11:1, etc. I guess I don't understand the exact concept of INTERSECTS. Thanks for your help.
My technique to diagnose these problems is to run each side of the "INTERSECTS" search separately:
You can see that in Matthew 4:17, the two search hits do not "INTERSECT".
In general, the person tagging is only applied for implied subjects of verbs, so person:Jesus won't find every verb where Jesus is the subject.
person:Jesus
Thanks Bradley for responding. I'm confused by your statement "You can see that in Matthew 4:17, the two search hits do not "INTERSECT"". What counts as intersecting for the two searches? I guess I don't understand the specific difference between the operator INTERSECTING vs AND.
AND means the hits are in the same verse (or same "article" for Books Search).
INTERSECT means the coloured search hit highlights have at least one character in common. In this example (in Matt 4:17), "Jesus" and "preach" have nothing in common / do not overlap / do not intersect (different way of saying the same thing).
(EQUALS means the coloured search hit highlights are exactly the same.)
I think I understand. Subject-verb counts as intersection, but subject-object does not. Is that correct?
That is not a good way to think of it. implied subject/verb do intersect in that the share the conjugational suffix. But it is best to think of it as Bradley put it - do they overlap? For example, the speaker and what the speaker says overlap because of how labels are constructed.
Thanks MJ, that helps. So is there a way to do a search in Logos that will find all of the verses where Jesus is preaching to include Matthew 4:17?

@Lankford Oxendine Do any of these give you what you need?
person:Jesus BEFORE lemma.g:κηρύσσω or person:Jesus WITHIN 8 WORDS lemma.g:κηρύσσω or
person:Jesus NEAR lemma.g:κηρύσσω
Intersects have six legs.
Arachternids have eight.
Hope this helps. 🤣
I think what you want is a clause search.
verb-lemma:κηρύσσω subject:Jesus
Hi @Justin Gatlin,
I am just sort of wandering around random threads trying to learn things, so with that as a preface, I clicked on that link in your comment and got a strange error. I thought the problem is that it is "all" so I tried "Bible" "Books" and "Morph" and it all gave the same sort of error. Here is a screenshot in case it means anything to anyone.
Kristin,
You need to do a clause search with this syntax. It doesn't appear you have that option with your package.
Hi @Lankford Oxendine,
Oh, ok, thank you for clarifying this, I appreciate it. :)
Is there a Greek version of The Orations of S. Athanasius Against the Arians?
Is there a way I can do a precise search for whenever one of the Apostles speaks, similar to Speaker:Jesus? I want to use it in a visual filter, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do it. I did see a search term Speaker:"An Apostle", which is designated 'A person', yet search results return only Jude 18! Not sure if that…
I know that I can "tab" after typing a reference and it will automatically populate the verse. I know I can also do "alt + return" and put it in paragraph form. Unfortunately, the paragraph form does not include the numbers for the verses, so I can't easily refer back to an individual verse within the bulk paragraph. Is…
I'm trying to find the verse memorization tool in Logos, but I can't seem to access that tool in my current version. Any suggestions?
So I am working on a translation of the Bible. My translation is in two parts, the OT and NT, and I finally imported them into Logos as a PB and then glued them together in Logos as a series. I then made notes which are anchored to biblical references AND anchored to the translation. For the sake of this example let's call…
