3: 13He went up the mountain and called to him those whom he wanted, and they came toward (pros) him.
3: 31Then his mother and his brothers came; and standing outside, they sent toward (pros) him and called him.

9: 16He asked toward (pros) them, "What are you arguing about with them?"
9: 17Someone from the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought toward (pros) you my son; he has a spirit that makes him unable to speak;

11: 4They went away and found a colt tied toward (pros) a door, outside in the street. As they were untying it,
11: 7Then they brought the colt toward (pros) Jesus and threw their cloaks on it; and he sat on it.

12: 12When they realized that he had told this parable toward (pros) them, they wanted to arrest him, but they feared the crowd. So they left him and went away.

14: 54Peter had followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the guards, warming himself toward (pros) the fire.

22: 8I answered, 'Who are you, Lord?' Then he said toward (pros) me, 'I am Jesus of Nazareth whom you are persecuting.'

23: 3At this Paul said toward (pros) him, "God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! Are you sitting there to judge me according to the law, and yet in violation of the law you order me to be struck?"
23: 17Paul called one of the centurions and said, "Take this young man toward (pros) the tribune, for he has something to report to him."
23: 18So he took him, brought him toward (pros) the tribune, and said, "The prisoner Paul called me and asked me to bring this young man toward (pros) you; he has something to tell you."
23: 22So the tribune dismissed the young man, ordering him, "Tell no one that you have reported these things toward (pros) me."

28: 25So they disagreed toward (pros) each other; and as they were leaving, Paul made one further statement: "The Holy Spirit was right in saying toward (pros) your ancestors through the prophet Isaiah,
