A Scriptural cross-reference is a notation, often inline or in the page margin of a Bible, that identifies commonalities between different parts of the Bible such as similar themes, words, events, or people. For example, many cross-references appear in some Bibles linking the accounts of Matthew, Mark and Luke of certain events. Another common example would be New Testament fulfilments of Old Testament prophecies or quotations by Jesus or New Testament writers of Old Testament Scripture. Some readers prefer Bibles that do not have such cross-references since they are not present in the original texts and may distract from the text or subtly introduce the interpretations or biases of the editor.
