"even cloven tongues as of fire, and the interpretation thereof."
New Testament Acts 2:3
"And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them."

Shared words: as of fire, and

'cloven tongues' stands at exactly two distinct frozen verses in the corpus: these. The one divergence in the shared phrase is the dropped comparative, 'cloven tongues like as of fire' against 'cloven tongues as of fire'. The prayer names the occasion it asks to have repeated, 'as upon those on the day of Pentecost', and adds a request the narrative has no counterpart for at this point, 'and the interpretation thereof'. The occasion is named but no source text or writer is, so the record is wiki-asserted. D&C 109 is a prayer addressed to God, not a divine first-person address; the section's statements are the petitioners' and are reported as such. Counts are of distinct frozen verses in the corpus, derived by search at the time of writing.
