What is is shortest verse in the Bible and where is it found?
The shortest verse in the Christian Bible is John 11:35, "Jesus wept." The shortest verse in the Hebrew Bible is 1 Chronicles 1:25, which is just three names of a list: "Eber, Peleg, Reu." The shortest and longest verses are quite trivial and arbitrary. The Bible chapters we know today come from Archbishop Stephen Langton in the 1200s. The modern verse numbering was added later, with the Geneva Bible in 1560. So the length of verses is not a religious item of interest, but rather a more modern addition to help us study specific sections more easily.
