I always wanted to be able to see this type of data! Thanks Faithlife!
Interestingly, if you uncheck "Combine all word forms", His most used verb is "say".

Yes, it's a great tool.
Note that it wasn't necessary to filter by Surface Text as Words of Christ is both Surface Text and Bible Text by definition.
Combine that data with Dr. Runge's and we see that the thing Jesus did most in the Gospels is get people's attention and remind them that what He was saying is the most important.
"The process of stepping back, interrupting the flow, and making an abstract comment, has the effect of making what is being commented on stand out. The effect of the meta-comment is to slow down the flow of the text, and to attract the reader’s attention to some important proposition that follows."

Noted, thanks Dave. I'm wondering if we'll see some tutorials/explanations either here or on the new youtube training soon ;-)
Is it what Jesus did or what the gospel writers did in order to get our attention? Have you compared all four gospels to see what verbs are used most and in what manner?
Gee, whatever happened to the Logosians (and Bellingham'ers) solumnly vowing concordance views are 'the past'. They're back!!
Nope, just did a split second look at the new feature and potential uses for it. I hardly even analyzed this data. Even now as I looked over it, some of the references are not "I say to you", which Is what I thought at first glance, and thus why I included the Runge material. However, I am certainly excited about the possibilities of this new feature:)
Then there is 'said' = 100 and 'came' = 65. But 'say' + 'said' still outnumbers 'come' + 'came', especially when you combine that with 'tell' 89
Have you compared all four gospels to see what verbs are used most
Matthew - Say (Go 2nd most & Come 3rd most)
Mark - Come (Say 2nd most & Go 3rd most)
Luke - Come (Say 2nd most & Tell 3rd most)
John - Know (Come 2nd most & Say 3rd most)
'say' + 'said' still outnumbers 'come' + 'came', especially when you combine that with 'tell' 89
Fitting the The Word made flesh would be recorded most in the Gospels as speaking
This is "concordance" as text analytics... I'm holding out for the n-grams feature. It's concordance as a resource rather than a flexible tool that is dead ... just as interlinears should be.
Well, ok.

A better name might have been "Dynamic Concordance." If I hadn't viewed the video, I would not have gotten the point.

Now Donnie ... that was the earlier logic (with no video). But to be honest, I don't bother listening to our pastor ... I run my word frequency analysis on his text to see what he really meant.

Now THAT is funny.

LOL! If I were ever in a position to be delivering addresses in which I actually thought anybody might do this, it would be /so/ tempting to ensure that I used some really peculiar words very frequently...
Is there a way to filter out on just verbs or feeling words using this function? And is this function only available in Bronze or can it be purchased separately? Thank you.

Yes to Verbs. No to "feeling" words unless you can objectify them to Parts of Speech or Sense.
I could not find where it can be purchased, but you could engage in a Chat with Customer Support.
