This selection from the New Testament of the Bible, King James
Version adapts the model for stratified sampling of the Bible that was
developed by Don Knuth for his book:
- 3:16, Bible Texts Illuminated
Donald E. Knuth
A-R Editions, Inc.
801 Deming Way
Madison, Wisconsin 53777-1903
ISBN 0-89579-252-4
BS511.2.K58

The book 3:16, Bible Texts Illuminated combines Don Knuth's
life-long interest in Bible study, typography, and art. For each of the
59 books of the Bible with at least 16 verses starting at Chapter 3, verse
1, that book is selected for a chapter. Each lesson has four pages. The
first page summarizes the book and its historical context. The second page
contains an illustration of the sampled verse, each done by a different one
of the world's significant caligraphers. The third page gives the text of
that verse and discusses it on that page and the fourth, relating it to other
Bible references, and the original languages from which translations have
been made. In some cases, his original translations are used.
The book 3:16, Bible Texts Illuminated is a marriage of profound
Biblical insights, exquisite calligraphy, and balanced page typography
The adaptation is to show the sentence, possibly multi-verse, that contains
the sought [3:16] verse. If that verse doesn't exist in chapter 3, go on
to subsequent chapters until the sixteenth verse occurs. If the book is so
short that no such verse occurs, then show the final [chapter:verse] and the
final sentence of the book.

This work is only my imperfect attempt at sampling the King James Version
of the New Testament of Bible. What is extracted here is done by
program, without the care, scholarship, and craftsmanship in my inspiration
for this work: Don Knuth's 3:16, Bible Texts
