Chiastic parallelism
“… two or more clauses
are related to each
other through a reversal
of structures in order to
make a larger point;
that is, the clauses
display inverted
parallelism.”
A "Do not give what is holy to dogs,
B and do not throw your pearls before swine,
B1 lest they (the pigs) trample them under their feet,
A1 and (the dogs) turn and tear you to pieces” (Matthew 7:6.)
John 5: 19
Then answered Jesus and said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
A. The Son can do nothing of himself,
B. but what he seeth the Father do:
B’. for what things soever he doeth,
A’. these also doeth the Son likewise.

John 1:19-27
Who art thou?
And he confessed, and denied not; but
confessed, I am not the Christ.
What then?
Art thou Elias?
And he saith, I am not.
Art thou that prophet?
And he answered, No.
Who art thou?
What sayest thou of
thyself?
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the
wilderness, Make straight the way of the
Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
John answered them, saying, I baptize with
water:but there standeth one among you,
Why baptizest thou then? whom ye know not; He it is, who coming after
me is preferred before me, whose shoe's
latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
17
Isaiah 40:18-21
To whom then will ye liken God?
or what likeness will ye compare unto him?
The workman melteth a graven image,
and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold,
and casteth silver chains.
He that is so impoverished that he hath no
oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot;
he seeketh unto him a cunning workman
to prepare a graven image, that shall not be
moved.
Have ye not known? have ye not heard?
hath it not been told you from the beginning?
have ye not understood from the foundations of
the earth.

Acts 7:9-13
And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt:but God
was with him, And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave
him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he
made him governor over Egypt and all his house. Now there came a
dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction:and
our fathers found no sustenance. But when Jacob heard that there
was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first. And at the second time
Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph's kindred was
made known unto Pharaoh.

And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth,
and to save your lives by a great deliverance. So now it was not you
that sent me hither, but God.
John 3:16,17
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting
life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world;
but that the world through him might be saved.
25
John 3:16
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through
him might be saved.

or he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God:for God giveth not the Spirit by
measure unto him.

he hath sent.
8:42
Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me:for I proceeded forth and
came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
10:36
Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou
blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
17:3
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ,
whom thou hast sent.
26
Gen 42:8
And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
John 1:10
He was in the world, and the world was made by him,
and the world knew him not.

of man:for he knew what was in man.
27
Gen 45:25-28
And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan
unto Jacob their father, And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive,
and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart
fainted, for he believed them not. And they told him all the words
of Joseph, which he had said unto them:and when he saw the
wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob
their father revived: And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son
is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
John 6:40
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth
the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life:and I
will raise him up at the last day.

believed the scripture, and the word which
Jesus had said.
