There Biblical references for everything that is said during the Divine
Liturgy. Below is the text of the Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom.
Under each line, you will see "Bible References:" along with the Book, Chapter
and Verse(s). While many
have studied why we say and do the Divine Liturgy as it relates to the
Bible, we would like to acknowledge in particular the work done by V. Rev. Fr.
Constantine Nasr of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese. The title of
his book is called "The Bible In The Liturgy", and it was published by Theosis
Publishing Company. His work is thus far the easiest and most comprehensive
we've found on this topic when researching how the Divine Liturgy relates to the
Bible.
In addition to the Biblical references, you will also see some of the Greek
language used during the Liturgy along with its English translation.
