(Translation from NRSV for the New Testament with a few modifications for a more literal meaning)

| 18: 10 | Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew (helkō) it, struck the high priest's slave, and cut off his right ear. The slave's name was Malchus. |
| 21: 6 | He said to them, "Cast the net to the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast it, and now they were not able to draw (helkō) it in because there were so many fish. |
| 21: 11 | So Simon Peter went aboard and drew (helkō) the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred fifty-three of them; and though there were so many, the net was not torn. |
