WORD COUNTER: A simple python script that counts a specific word in text file

During a rainy and boring morning, I decided to write an algorithm that displays how many times a word appears in the bible.

To start with, I searched for a kjv bible in a text file and found one that was in this format:
bible.txt

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
...
Revelation 22:21    The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Then I wrote this code to do the word count magic for me:
search_bible.py

search = input("Search for: ")
total_count = 0
with open("bible.txt") as bible:
    for line in bible:
        bible_verse = line.split("\t")[-1].lower()
        verse_count = bible_verse.count(search.lower())
        total_count += verse_count
print(f"{search} appears {total_count} times")
