Great new Mac Feature - Get bible verses directly in Pages!
This is a great little feature in the new Mac release. In an y application that lets you use the services menu (e.g. pages) just highlight a verse reference such as Mark 1 and click [Shift] [cmd] e. Viola! The verse/s appear as though you had used the copy bible verses function, although with ludicrously fast speed!
This is is going to be a great time saver. It is worth noting it may not be available/turned on by default. It wasn't for me. To get it working go to your Mac system preferences, select keyboard. Choose Services from the box on the left. Then scroll down the list on the right until you see Copy Bible Verses & Replace with Passage. Click them to make them active.
I've attached a picture that may help. Thanks Mac Devs for this addition

I know Fusion has the option to launch Windows apps from within the Mac, sort of like if you click to open a wmv file on your Mac it will launch Windows Media Player in the VM and send the file there. I assume Parallels has something similar. Try turning that off?
That worked for me! For the benefit of others, here's the steps I took to turn that option off:
Once Parallels (Windows) is loaded, on the Parallels menu bar select Virtual Machine, then Configure...
Select Applications from the menu on the left, and then make sure Share Windows Applications With Mac is unchecked.
Thanks, everyone, for the help!

It does not work..and even if it did, not sure it is that much of time saver than highlighting, command c, command tab, command v...which all takes about a second anyways.
Welcome [:D]
Curious about version of Logos (or Verbum), Pages, and OS X.
Can replicate Copy Bible Verse and Replace with Passage services not working in Pages 4.1 and Pages 5.2.2 for Verbum 5.3 Beta 1 on OS X 10.10 Public Beta 3.
Keep Smiling [:)]
I'm running Mac OS 10.10 with Pages 5.5 and it only works for me if I 1] highlight a text [so I type in Ps 23], 2] go to the menu and 3] manually select from Pages/ Services / Replace with Passage from this menu. There is no shortcut listed there now. I disabled Copy Bible verses. But even when I had them both enabled I could not use the short cut for Replace with Text. Strange.
EDIT: Update - I changed the shortcut and now it works 
Sometimes what happens is that the shortcuts conflict with other shortcuts. Shift-Command P is (at least in Pages) the shortcut for "Page Setup." Try assigning a different shortcut.
I tend to use more Control-Option-Command shortcuts because they are still easy to type, and rarely used by other apps. e.g., my shortcut for "replace with passage" is Control-Option-Command-B.
