The year 2020 is here. There’s 2020 vision. There is a news show called 2020. So, I wondered what verses in the Bible had the address of 20:20. In other words, how many verses in the NASB95 Bible have a chapter 20 and a verse 20? After a quick search, I discovered there were 17. Now, there’s nothing special about those verses, but since I did the research, I thought I would list out all the scriptures in the Bible that have an address of 20:20. It was nothing more than an endeavor to satisfy a curiosity.

Of course, many of the books of the Bible don’t have 20 chapters, and some that do have 20 chapters don’t have more than 20 verses. Nevertheless, the following is the list of the books of the Bible that have chapter 20 and verse 20.
