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

| 13: 20 | As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word (logos) and immediately receives it with joy; |

| 5: 36 | But overhearing word (logos) being spoken, Jesus said to the leader of the synagogue, "Do not fear, only believe." |

Luke
| 1: 2 | just as they were handed on to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word (logos), |
| 1: 4 | so that you may know the truth concerning the words (logos) about which you have been instructed. |
| 1: 20 | But now, because you did not believe my words (logos), which will be fulfilled in their time, you will become mute, unable to speak, until the day these things occur." |
| 1: 29 | But she was much perplexed by his words (logos) and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. |

| 4: 22 | All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words (logos) that came from his mouth. They said, "Is not this Joseph's son?" |
| 4: 32 | They were astounded at his teaching, because his word (logos) was with authority. |
| 4: 36 | They were all amazed and kept saying to one another, "What kind of word (logos) is this? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and out they come!" |
| 5: 1 | Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word (logos) of God, |
| 5: 15 | But now more than ever the word (logos) about Jesus spread abroad; many crowds would gather to hear him and to be cured of their diseases. |
| 6: 47 | I will show you what someone is like who comes to me, hears my words (logos), and acts on them. |
| 7: 7 | therefore I did not presume to come to you. But only speak the word (logos), and let my servant be healed. |
| 7: 17 | This word (logos) about him spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding country. |
| 8: 11 | "Now the parable is this: The seed is the word (logos) of God. |
| 8: 12 | The ones on the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word (logos) from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. |
| 8: 13 | The ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word (logos), receive it with joy. But these have no root; they believe only for a while and in a time of testing fall away. |
| 8: 15 | But as for that in the good soil, these are the ones who, when they hear the word (logos), hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patient endurance. |
| 8: 21 | But he said to them, "My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word (logos) of God and do it." |
| 9: 26 | Those who are ashamed of me and of my words (logos), of them the Son of Man will be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. |
| 9: 28 | Now about eight days after these words (logos) Jesus took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray. |
| 9: 44 | "Let these words (logos) sink into your ears: The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into human hands." |
| 10: 39 | She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the LORD's feet and listened to his word (logos). |
| 11: 28 | But he said, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word (logos) of God and obey it!" |
| 12: 10 | And everyone who speaks a word (logos) against the Son of Man will be forgiven; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. |
| 16: 2 | So he summoned him and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Give me a word (logos) on your management, because you cannot be my manager any longer.' |
| 20: 3 | He answered them, "I will also ask you a word (logos), and you tell me: |
| 20: 20 | So they watched him and sent spies who pretended to be honest, in order to trap him with his word (logos), so as to hand him over to the jurisdiction and authority of the governor. |
| 21: 33 | Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words (logos) will not pass away. |
| 23: 9 | He questioned him in extended words (logos), but Jesus gave him no answer. |
| 24: 17 | And he said to them, "What are the words (logos) of the discussion with each other while you walk along?" They stood still, looking sad. |
| 24: 19 | He asked them, "What things?" They replied, "The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word (logos) before God and all the people, |
| 24: 44 | Then he said to them, "These are my words (logos) that I spoke to you while I was still with you - that everything written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled." |
John
| 1: 1 | In the beginning was the Word (logos), and the Word (logos) was with God, and the Word (logos) was God. |
| 1: 14 | And the Word (logos) became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father's only son, full of grace and truth. |
| 2: 22 | After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word (logos) that Jesus had spoken. |
| 4: 37 | For this word (logos) is true, 'One sows and another reaps.' |
| 4: 39 | Many Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman's word (logos), "He told me everything I have ever done." |
| 4: 41 | And many more believed because of his word (logos). |
| 4: 50 | Jesus said to him, "Go; your son will live." The man believed the word (logos) that Jesus spoke to him and started on his way. |
| 5: 24 | Very truly, I tell you, anyone who hears my word (logos) and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and does not come under judgment, but has passed from death to life. |
| 5: 38 | and you do not have his word (logos) abiding in you, because you do not believe him whom he has sent. |
| 6: 60 | When many of his disciples heard it, they said, "This word (logos) is difficult; who can accept it?" |
| 7: 36 | What does he mean with the word (logos), 'You will search for me and you will not find me' and 'Where I am, you cannot come'?" |
| 7: 40 | When they heard these words (logos), some in the crowd said, "This is really the prophet." |
| 8: 31 | Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word (logos), you are truly my disciples; |
| 8: 37 | I know that you are descendants of Abraham; yet you look for an opportunity to kill me, because there is no place in you for my word (logos). |
| 8: 43 | Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot accept my word (logos). |
| 8: 51 | Very truly, I tell you, whoever keeps my word (logos) will never see death." |
| 8: 52 | The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and so did the prophets; yet you say, 'Whoever keeps my word (logos) will never taste death.' |
| 8: 55 | though you do not know him. But I know him; if I would say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him and I keep his word (logos). |
| 10: 19 | Again the Jews were divided because of these words (logos). |
| 10: 35 | If those to whom the word (logos) of God came were called 'gods' - and the scripture cannot be annulled - |
| 12: 38 | This was to fulfill the word (logos) spoken by the prophet Isaiah: "Lord, who has believed our message, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?" |
| 12: 48 | The one who rejects me and does not receive my teaching has a judge; on the last day the word (logos) that I have spoken will serve as judge, |
| 14: 23 | Jesus answered him, "Those who love me will keep my word (logos), and my Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. |
| 14: 24 | Whoever does not love me does not keep my words (logos); and the word (logos) that you hear is not mine, but is from the Father who sent me. |
| 15: 3 | You have already been cleansed by the word (logos) that I have spoken to you. |
| 15: 20 | Remember the word (logos) that I said to you, 'Servants are not greater than their master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word (logos), they will keep yours also. |
| 15: 25 | It was to fulfill the word (logos) that is written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.' |
| 17: 6 | "I have made your name known to those whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word (logos). |
| 17: 14 | I have given them your word (logos), and the world has hated them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. |
| 17: 17 | Sanctify them in the truth; your word (logos) is truth. |
| 17: 20 | "I ask not only on behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their word (logos), |
| 18: 9 | This was to fulfill the word (logos) that he had spoken, "I did not lose a single one of those whom you gave me." |
| 18: 32 | (This was to fulfill the word (logos) that Jesus had said when he indicated the kind of death he was to die.) |
| 19: 8 | Now when Pilate heard this word (logos), he was more afraid than ever. |
| 19: 13 | When Pilate heard these words (logos), he brought Jesus outside and sat on the judge's bench at a place called The Stone Pavement, or in Hebrew Gabbatha. |
| 21: 23 | So the word (logos) spread in the community that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, "If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?" |
Acts
| 1: 1 | In the first word (logos), Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning |
| 2: 22 | "You that are Israelites, listen to these words (logos): Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with deeds of power, wonders, and signs that God did through him among you, as you yourselves know - |
| 2: 40 | And he testified with many other words (logos) and exhorted them, saying, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation." |
| 2: 41 | So those who welcomed his word (logos) were baptized, and that day about three thousand persons were added. |
| 4: 4 | But many of those who heard the word (logos) believed; and they numbered about five thousand. |
| 4: 29 | And now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word (logos) with all boldness, |
| 4: 31 | When they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word (logos) of God with boldness. |
| 5: 5 | Now when Ananias heard these words (logos), he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard of it. |
| 5: 24 | Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words (logos), they were perplexed about them, wondering what might be going on. |
| 6: 2 | And the twelve called together the whole community of the disciples and said, "It is not right that we should neglect the word (logos) of God in order to wait on tables. |
| 6: 4 | while we, for our part, will devote ourselves to prayer and to serving the word (logos)." |
| 6: 5 | The word (logos) said pleased the whole community, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, together with Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch. |
| 6: 7 | The word (logos) of God continued to spread; the number of the disciples increased greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith. |
| 7: 22 | So Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in his words (logos) and deeds. |
| 7: 29 | When he heard this word (logos), Moses fled and became a resident alien in the land of Midian. There he became the father of two sons. |
| 8: 4 | Now those who were scattered went from place to place, proclaiming the word (logos). |
| 8: 14 | Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word (logos) of God, they sent Peter and John to them. |
| 8: 21 | You have no part or share in this matter (logos), for your heart is not right before God. |
| 8: 25 | Now after Peter and John had testified and spoken the word (logos) of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, proclaiming the good news to many villages of the Samaritans. |
| 10: 29 | So when I was sent for, I came without objection. Now may I ask on behalf of which word (logos) you sent for me?" |
| 10: 36 | You know the word (logos) he sent to the people of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ - he is Lord of all. |
| 10: 44 | While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard the word (logos). |
| 11: 1 | Now the apostles and the believers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also accepted the word (logos) of God. |
| 11: 19 | Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that took place over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, and they spoke the word (logos) to no one except Jews. |
| 11: 22 | The word (logos) of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. |
| 12: 24 | But the word (logos) of God continued to advance and gain adherents. |
| 13: 5 | When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word (logos) of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John also to assist them. |
| 13: 7 | He was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man, who summoned Barnabas and Saul and wanted to hear the word (logos) of God. |
| 13: 15 | After the reading of the law and the prophets, the officials of the synagogue sent them a message, saying, "Brothers, if you have any word (logos) of exhortation for the people, give it." |
| 13: 26 | "My brothers, you descendants of Abraham's family, and others who fear God, to us the word (logos) of this salvation has been sent. |
| 13: 44 | The next sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word (logos) of the Lord. |
| 13: 46 | Then both Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying, "It was necessary that the word (logos) of God should be spoken first to you. Since you reject it and judge yourselves to be unworthy of eternal life, we are now turning to the Gentiles. |
| 13: 48 | When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and praised the word (logos) of the Lord; and as many as had been destined for eternal life became believers. |
| 13: 49 | Thus the word (logos) of the Lord spread throughout the region. |
| 14: 3 | So they remained for a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who testified to the word (logos) of his grace by granting signs and wonders to be done through them. |
| 14: 12 | Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes, since it was he who carried the word (logos). |
| 14: 25 | When they had spoken the word (logos) in Perga, they went down to Attalia. |
| 15: 6 | The apostles and the elders met together to consider this matter (logos). |
| 15: 7 | After there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, "My brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that I should be the one through whom the Gentiles would hear the word (logos) of the good news and become believers. |
| 15: 15 | This agrees with the words (logos) of the prophets, as it is written, |
| 15: 24 | Since we have heard that certain persons who have gone out from us, though with no instructions from us, have said words (logos) to disturb you and have unsettled your minds, |
| 15: 27 | We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will tell you the same things by word (logos) of mouth. |
| 15: 32 | Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, said a word (logos) to encourage and strengthen the believers. |
| 15: 35 | But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, and there, with many others, they taught and proclaimed the word (logos) of the Lord. |
| 15: 36 | After some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Come, let us return and visit the believers in every city where we proclaimed the word (logos) of the Lord and see how they are doing." |
| 16: 6 | They went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word (logos) in Asia. |
| 16: 32 | They spoke the word (logos) of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. |
| 16: 36 | And the jailer reported the message to Paul, saying, "The magistrates sent word (logos) to let you go; therefore come out now and go in peace." |
| 17: 11 | These Jews were more receptive than those in Thessalonica, for they welcomed the word (logos) very eagerly and examined the scriptures every day to see whether these things were so. |
| 17: 13 | But when the Jews of Thessalonica learned that the word (logos) of God had been proclaimed by Paul in Beroea as well, they came there too, to stir up and incite the crowds. |
| 18: 5 | When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was occupied with proclaiming the word (logos), testifying to the Jews that the Messiah was Jesus. |
| 18: 11 | He stayed there a year and six months, teaching the word (logos) of God among them. |
| 18: 14 | Just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were a matter of crime or serious villainy, I would be justified in accepting the matter (logos) of you Jews; |
| 18: 15 | but since it is a matter of questions about words (logos) and names and your own law, see to it yourselves; I do not wish to be a judge of these matters." |
| 19: 10 | This continued for two years, so that all the residents of Asia, both Jews and Greeks, heard the word (logos) of the Lord. |
| 19: 20 | So the word (logos) of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed. |
| 19: 38 | If therefore Demetrius and the artisans with him have a matter (logos) against anyone, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls; let them bring charges there against one another. |
| 19: 40 | For we are in danger of being charged with rioting today, since there is no word (logos) that we can give to justify this commotion." When he had said this, he dismissed the assembly. |
| 20: 2 | When he had gone through those regions and had given the believers much words (logos) of encouragement, he came to Greece, |
| 20: 7 | On the first day of the week, when we met to break bread, Paul was holding a discussion with them; since he intended to leave the next day, he extended his word (logos) until midnight. |
| 20: 24 | But I don't make my life a value for myself in any matter (logos), if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the good news of God's grace. |
| 20: 32 | And now I commend you to God and to the word (logos) of his grace, a message that is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all who are sanctified. |
| 20: 35 | In all this I have given you an example that by such work we must support the weak, remembering the words (logos) of the Lord Jesus, for he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'" |
| 20: 38 | grieving especially because of the word (logos) he had said, that they would not see him again. Then they brought him to the ship. |
| 22: 22 | Up to this word (logos) they listened to him, but then they shouted, "Away with such a fellow from the earth! For he should not be allowed to live." |
1 John
| 1: 1 | We declare to you what was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the word (logos) of life - |
| 1: 10 | If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word (logos) is not in us. |
| 2: 5 | but whoever obeys his word (logos), truly in this person the love of God has reached perfection. By this we may be sure that we are in him: |
| 2: 7 | Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment that you have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word (logos) that you have heard. |
| 2: 14 | I write to you, children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young people, because you are strong and the word (logos) of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one. |
| 3: 18 | Little children, let us love, not in word (logos) or speech, but in truth and action. |
3 John
| 1: 10 | So if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing in spreading false words (logos) against us. And not content with this, he refuses to welcome the friends, and even prevents those who want to do so and expels them from the church. |
