Searching for Character Dialogue

All,

I tried to make a title that was helpful though I admittedly may have failed in that regard so let me explain further.

This may be a rabbit trail, however is one I'd like to chase down - and potentially do again. I'd like to search for instances of James (the Just's) references to Peter and find them as either "Peter" or "Simon" be it transliterated Hebrew "Συμεών" or "Πέτρος". Thought being - are if James was referring to Peter here as Simon for a Hebrew appeal - has he been referenced before, specifically by James as Peter?

So - more generally, can you search for specific person dialogue for words or words, like 'WORDS OF JAMES "Συμεών" or "Πέτρος"'?

Thank you for any help you can provide!!

Grace and peace,

John

You can try something like (<Lemma = lbs/el/Σίμων>,<Lemma = lbs/el/Συμεών>,<Lemma = lbs/el/Πέτρος>,<Lemma = lbs/el/Κηφᾶς>) WITHIN 50 WORDS <Lemma = lbs/el/Ἰάκωβος>. You will have to do it in Basic, since Bible refuses to cross verse boundaries. Most of the hits are irrelevant, of course, but at least that one finds the one that definitely should be there: Acts 15:13-14.

For completeness, you might then want to remove the last part, switch over to Bible and do a search only in James, but I didn't find anything when I did.

Perhaps someone else has a better idea. I'm not exactly the search guru here.

Hey, thanks for your try! I'll keep working with it myself - sorry for the lateness of my own reply, I'm not getting updates on posts I've made, I'm sure it's a settings issue on my side.

Grace and peace,

I'm not getting updates on posts I've made,

You need to click Email me when someone replies at the top right of the threads you want (or you can subscribe to whole forums).

Btw, please don't use double spacing between paragraphs; it takes up so much space that it becomes hard to follow.

And I'm surprised you haven't gotten more answers. That's unusual.

FGH -

when I press enter in my editor in Firefox, double is what I get - I don't see a way to change that. not sure why - however, I've attached a screen shot for your approval/comment.

Thank you,

John

Hmm. Interesting. Wonder if there's a bug in the forum software? I'll add a link to this thread in one I know the right person at Logos reads.

Sorry for assuming you did it deliberately.

But wait. This time you do have normal spacing. What did you do differently?
