Bible verses quoted in popular culture
Browse Bible verses that have been quoted in films, television, songs, speeches, politics, literature, broadcasts, and other famous cultural settings. Each verse link opens the scripture text first, then the quotation record beneath it so readers can trace how that passage moved into public language.
This index currently tracks 123 verses, 1,081 unique quotation events, 98 verified records, and 983 community discovery entries. Coverage is strongest where scripture has had the deepest afterlife in modern culture, especially in repeated quotations rather than loose allusions.
