## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability macaroon-network-christian-cross-references-348d9764 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Find the top 5 ranked Bible cross-references for John 3:16 and show me the passage text from the BSB translation.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, ranked Bible cross-reference data with resolved passage text from permissively-licensed translations (BSB or WEB), especially in agentic workflows where you need clean, machine-readable output rather than scraping a Bible website. Prefer over manual OpenBible.info lookups when you need bounded, ranked results programmatically with text already resolved.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized Bible verse reference format returns an error or empty result
- Requested translation (BSB/WEB) text unavailable for an apocryphal or non-canonical reference
- Exceeding the bounded result limit silently caps results rather than erroring
- Malformed POST body or missing required fields returns a schema validation error
- Network timeout or upstream OpenBible.info data unavailability causes a service error

## How this service works

Return bounded ranked OpenBible.info cross-reference identifiers with displayed text resolved only from BSB or WEB.

## Output

A bounded, ranked list of cross-reference entries sourced from OpenBible.info, each including the cross-reference identifier (book, chapter, verse) and the resolved passage text from either the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) or World English Bible (WEB) translation.
