Read the chapter and verse

Once you find Luke, read the numbers in order. In Luke 2:9, the first number is the chapter and the second is the verse. Compare Luke chapter 2 with Luke chapter 9. Swapping the numbers leads to a different passage.

Luke 2:9 labels the book, chapter and verse. Luke 9:2 swaps the numbers. Luke 2:8–10 includes verses 8, 9 and 10.
For a range, stay in the named chapter and read both endpoints. Save the reference card.

Take it to a real Bible

Open the table of contents and find Mark. Leave a finger there and turn toward John. Which book do you pass? Luke sits between them. Try the same exercise from Acts toward John. The practice counts changes of book, regardless of how many printed pages you turn.
