16: 17 | But it is easier for heaven and earth (gē) to pass away, than for one stroke of a letter in the law to be dropped. |
18: 8 | I tell you, he will quickly grant justice to them. And yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth (gē)?" |

21: 9 | When they had gone ashore (gē), they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish on it, and bread. |
21: 11 | So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore (gē), full of large fish, a hundred fifty-three of them; and though there were so many, the net was not torn. |

4: 26 | The kings of the earth (gē) took their stand, and the rulers have gathered together against the Lord and against his Messiah.' |
7: 3 | and said to him, 'Leave your country (gē) and your relatives and go to the land (gē) that I will show you.' |

7: 49 | 'Heaven is my throne, and the earth (gē) is my footstool. What kind of house will you build for me, says the Lord, or what is the place of my rest? |
8: 33 | In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who can describe his generation? For his life is taken away from the earth (gē)." |
9: 4 | He fell to the ground (gē) and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" |
9: 8 | Saul got up from the ground (gē), and though his eyes were open, he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. |
10: 11 | He saw the heaven opened and something like a large sheet coming down, being lowered to the ground (gē) by its four corners. |
10: 12 | In it were all kinds of four-footed creatures and reptiles of the earth (gē) and birds of the air. |
11: 6 | As I looked at it closely I saw four footed animals of the earth (gē), beasts of prey, reptiles, and birds of the air. |
13: 17 | The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors and made the people great during their stay in the land (gē) of Egypt, and with uplifted arm he led them out of it. |
13: 19 | After he had destroyed seven nations in the land (gē) of Canaan, he gave them their land (gē) as an inheritance |
13: 47 | For so the Lord has commanded us, saying, 'I have set you to be a light for the Gentiles, so that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth (gē).'" |
14: 15 | "Friends, why are you doing this? We are mortals just like you, and we bring you good news, that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth (gē) and the sea and all that is in them. |
17: 24 | The God who made the world and everything in it, he who is Lord of heaven and earth (gē), does not live in shrines made by human hands, |
17: 26 | From one ancestor he made all nations to inhabit the whole earth (gē), and he allotted the times of their existence and the boundaries of the places where they would live, |
22: 22 | Up to this point they listened to him, but then they shouted, "Away with such a fellow from the earth (gē)! For he should not be allowed to live." |
26: 14 | When we had all fallen to the ground (gē), I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It hurts you to kick against the goads.' |
27: 39 | In the morning they did not recognize the land (gē), but they noticed a bay with a beach, on which they planned to run the ship ashore, if they could. |
27: 43 | but the centurion, wishing to save Paul, kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and make for the land (gē), |
27: 44 | and the rest to follow, some on planks and others on pieces of the ship. And so it was that all were brought safely to land (gē). |
