Luke 15:11ff is the same as Luke 15:11-32. Sometimes, it’s just simpler to say where the reference starts and then say it’s the vers...

This would be spoken as: “First Corinthians, chapter 13, verses 1 through...

Gen. 35:1-36:43 This would be read: “Genesis Chapter 35, verse 1 to Chapter 36, verse 43.” This Genesis reference starts at chapter 35, verse 1 and goes all the way to the next chapter, Chapter 36, verse 43. It basically means the entire two chapters: Genesis 35 and 36. It can also be referenced with just the chapters: Gen. 35-36
