This template extracts a particular sentence from the input of the first parameter, based upon the number specified in the second parameter (default 1).

The purpose is to be able to partially quote a verse of scripture, but allow for input from the different translations.

Example:

<sup>20</sup> {{:Extractsentence|{{#scripture:Exodus 34:20}}|2}}...

Input: 20 You shall redeem the firstborn of a donkey with a lamb. If you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. You shall redeem all the firstborn of your sons. No one shall appear before me empty. Exodus 34:20WEB

Output: ²⁰ ...If you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck.

See also: Erasesentence which erases one or more sentences from the beginning of the input and Erasesentencefromend which does the same thing from the end of the input.
