Red Dragon (2002): Searching for a Code

The clip searching for a code from Red Dragon (2002) with Harvey Keitel, Edward Norton

The Tattler got an ad order signed 666...
Baltimore postmark on the envelope.
It's set to run this afternoon.
Chicago field office is sending the text through now.
"Dear Pilgrim. "
That's it.
Lecter called him a pilgrim when we talked.
"You honour me. You're very beautiful. " Christ!
"I offer 100 prayers for your safety.
"Find help in John 6:22, 8:16...
"9:1, Luke 1:7."
Code.
Has to be.
We've got 19 minutes to get in a message if we can break this.
The Tattler can't hold its presses any longer.
It's simple.
They only needed cover against casual readers.
I'm thinking it's a book code.

The first numeral...
"100 prayers," may be the page number.
The numbers after could be line and letter. But what book?
Bible?
No, he's got "Galatians 15:2."
It has only six chapters.
Same with "Jonah 6:8." It has four chapters.
He wasn't using a Bible.
Then the Tooth Fairy named the book to use.
He specified it in his note, in the part Lecter tore out.
It would appear so.
What about sweating Lecter? In a mental hospital...
I would think drugs...
No.
They tried sodium amytal on him three years ago, to find out...
where he buried the Princeton student.
He gave them a recipe for dip.
If we sweat him, we lose the connection.
If the Tooth Fairy picked the book...
he knew Lecter would have it in his cell.
Can we get a list of his books?
From Chilton, maybe.
No! Wait! Rankin and Willingham, when they tossed his cell...
