22: 26	But not so with you; rather the greatest among you must become like (hōs) the youngest, and the leader like (hōs) one who serves.
22: 27	For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one at the table? But I am among you as (hōs) one who serves.

24: 6	Remember how he told you, as (hōs) he was still in Galilee,
24: 32	They said to each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us as (hōs) he was talking to us on the road, as (hōs) he was opening the scriptures to us?"
24: 35	Then they told what had happened on the road, and as (hōs) he had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread.

John

1: 14	And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as (hōs) of a father's only son, full of grace and truth.
1: 32	And John testified, "I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like (hōs) a dove, and it remained on him.
1: 39	He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It was about (hōs) four o'clock in the afternoon.
2: 9	As (hōs) the steward tasted the water that had become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward called the bridegroom
2: 23	As (hōs) he was in Jerusalem during the Passover festival, many believed in his name because they saw the signs that he was doing.
4: 1	Now as (hōs) Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard, "Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John"
4: 6	Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired out by his journey, was sitting by the well. It was about (hōs) noon.
4: 40	So as (hōs) the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them; and he stayed there two days.
6: 10	Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." Now there was a great deal of grass in the place; so they sat down, about (hōs) five thousand in all.
6: 12	As (hōs) they were satisfied, he told his disciples, "Gather up the fragments left over, so that nothing may be lost."
6: 16	As (hōs) evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,
6: 19	When they had rowed about (hōs) three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were terrified.
7: 10	But as (hōs) his brothers had gone to the festival, then he also went, not publicly but as (hōs) it were in secret.
8: 7	As (hōs) they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her."
11: 6	as (hōs) he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was.
11: 18	Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about (hōs) two miles away,
11: 20	As (hōs) Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, while Mary stayed at home.
11: 29	And as (hōs) she heard it, she got up quickly and went to him.
11: 32	As (hōs) Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she knelt at his feet and said to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."
11: 33	As (hōs) Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved.
12: 35	Jesus said to them, "The light is with you for a little longer. Walk as (hōs) you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. If you walk in the darkness, you do not know where you are going.
12: 36	As (hōs) you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light." After Jesus had said this, he departed and hid from them.
15: 6	Whoever does not abide in me is thrown away like (hōs) a branch and withers; such branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.
18: 6	As (hōs) Jesus said to them, "I am he," they stepped back and fell to the ground.
19: 14	Now it was the day of Preparation for the Passover; and it was about (hōs) noon. He said to the Jews, "Here is your King!"
19: 33	But when they came to Jesus and as (hōs) they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
19: 39	Nicodemus, who had at first come to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing about (hōs) a hundred pounds.
20: 11	But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. As (hōs) she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb;
21: 8	But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, only about (hōs) a hundred yards off.
21: 9	As (hōs) they had gone ashore, they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish on it, and bread.

Acts

1: 10	As (hōs) he was going and they were gazing up toward heaven, suddenly two men in white robes stood by them.
2: 15	Indeed, these are not drunk, as (hōs) you suppose, for it is only nine o'clock in the morning.
3: 12	When Peter saw it, he addressed the people, "You Israelites, why do you wonder at this, or why do you stare at us, as (hōs) though by our own power or piety we had made him walk?
3: 22	Moses said, 'The Lord your God will raise up for you from your own people a prophet like (hōs) me. You must listen to whatever he tells you.
4: 4	But many of those who heard the word believed; and they numbered about (hōs) five thousand.
5: 7	After an interval of about (hōs) three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
5: 24	Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were perplexed about (hōs) them, wondering what might be going on.
5: 36	For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and a number of men, about (hōs) four hundred, joined him; but he was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and disappeared.
7: 23	" As (hōs) he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his relatives, the Israelites.
7: 37	This is the Moses who said to the Israelites, 'God will raise up a prophet for you from your own people as (hōs) he raised me up.'
7: 51	"You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you are forever opposing the Holy Spirit, just as (hōs) your ancestors used to do.
8: 32	Now the passage of the scripture that he was reading was this: "Like (hōs) a sheep he was led to the slaughter, and like (hōs) a lamb silent before its shearer, so he does not open his mouth.
8: 36	As (hōs) they were going along the road, they came to some water; and the eunuch said, "Look, here is water! What is to prevent me from being baptized?"
9: 18	And immediately something like (hōs) scales fell from his eyes, and his sight was restored. Then he got up and was baptized,
9: 23	As (hōs) some time had passed, the Jews plotted to kill him,
10: 7	As (hōs) the angel who spoke to him had left, he called two of his slaves and a devout soldier from the ranks of those who served him,
10: 11	He saw the heaven opened and something like (hōs) a large sheet coming down, being lowered to the ground by its four corners.
10: 17	Now as (hōs) Peter was greatly puzzled on what to make of the vision that he had seen, suddenly the men sent by Cornelius appeared. They were asking for Simon's house and were standing by the gate.
10: 25	As (hōs) Peter was about to enter, Cornelius met him, and falling at his feet, worshiped him.
10: 28	and he said to them, "You yourselves know as (hōs) it is unlawful for a Jew to associate with or to visit a Gentile; but God has shown me that I should not call anyone profane or unclean.
10: 38	as (hōs) God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
10: 47	"Can anyone withhold the water for baptizing these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as (hōs) we have?"
11: 5	"I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision. There was something like (hōs) a large sheet coming down from heaven, being lowered by its four corners; and it came close to me.
11: 16	And I remembered the word of the Lord, as (hōs) he had said, 'John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'
11: 17	If then God gave them the same gift as (hōs) he gave us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could hinder God?"
13: 18	For about (hōs) forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.
13: 20	for about (hōs) four hundred fifty years. After that he gave them judges until the time of the prophet Samuel.
13: 25	And as (hōs) John was finishing his work, he said, 'What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. No, but one is coming after me; I am not worthy to untie the thong of the sandals on his feet.'
13: 29	As (hōs) they had carried out everything that was written on him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.
13: 33	he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising Jesus; as (hōs) also it is written in the second psalm, 'You are my Son; today I have begotten you.'
14: 5	And as (hōs) an attempt was made by both Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to mistreat them and to stone them,
16: 4	As (hōs) they went from town to town, they delivered to them for observance the decisions that had been reached by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem.
16: 10	As (hōs) he had seen the vision, we immediately tried to cross over to Macedonia, being convinced that God had called us to proclaim the good news to them.
16: 15	As (hōs) she and her household were baptized, she urged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come and stay at my home." And she prevailed upon us.
17: 13	But as (hōs) the Jews of Thessalonica learned that the word of God had been proclaimed by Paul in Beroea, they came there too, to stir up and incite the crowds.
17: 15	Those who conducted Paul brought him until Athens; and after receiving instructions to have Silas and Timothy join him early as (hōs) possible, they left him.
17: 22	Then Paul stood in front of the Areopagus and said, "Athenians, I see you as (hōs) extremely religious in every way.
17: 28	For 'In him we live and move and have our being'; as (hōs) even some of your own poets have said, 'For we too are his offspring.'
18: 5	As (hōs) Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was occupied with proclaiming the word, testifying to the Jews that the Messiah was Jesus.
19: 9	As (hōs) some stubbornly refused to believe and spoke evil of the Way before the congregation, he left them, taking the disciples with him, and argued daily in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.
19: 21	Now as (hōs) these things had been accomplished, Paul resolved in the Spirit to go through Macedonia and Achaia, and then to go on to Jerusalem. He said, "After I have gone there, I must also see Rome."
19: 34	But when they recognized that he was a Jew, for about (hōs) two hours all of them shouted in unison, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!"
20: 14	As (hōs) he met us in Assos, we took him on board and went to Mitylene.
20: 18	As (hōs) they came to him, he said to them: "You yourselves know how I lived among you the entire time from the first day that I set foot in Asia,
20: 20	As (hōs) I did not shrink from doing anything helpful, proclaiming the message to you and teaching you publicly and from house to house,
20: 24	But I do not count my life of any value to myself, as (hōs) I finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the good news of God's grace.
21: 1	As (hōs) we had parted from them and set sail, we came by a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
21: 12	As (hōs) we heard this, we and the people there urged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
21: 27	As (hōs) the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, who had seen him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd. They seized him,
22: 5	as (hōs) the high priest and the whole council of elders can testify on me. From them I also received letters to the brothers in Damascus, and I went there in order to bind those who were there and to bring them back to Jerusalem for punishment.
22: 11	As (hōs) I could not see because of the brightness of that light, those who were with me took my hand and led me to Damascus.
