1. From the early history of David: After the city of Ziklag has been sacked, David and his army are searching for those who attacked the city and kidnapped many of its residents. They are heading south and find someone who helps in their search and rescue mission: 

(11.) καὶ εὑρίσκουσιν ἄνδρα Αἰγύπτιον ἐν ἀγρῷ καὶ λαμβάνουσιν αὐτὸν καὶ ἄγουσιν αὐτὸν πρὸς Δαυιδ ἐν ἀγρῷ· καὶ διδόασιν αὐτῷ ἄρτον, καὶ ἔφαγεν, καὶ ἐπότισαν αὐτὸν ὕδωρ· (12.) καὶ διδόασιν αὐτῷ κλάσμα παλάθης, καὶ ἔφαγεν, καὶ κατέστη τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ, ὅτι οὐ βεβρώκει ἄρτον καὶ οὐ πεπώκει ὕδωρ τρεῖς ἡμέρας καὶ τρεῖς νύκτας. (13.) καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Δαυιδ Τίνος σὺ εἶ καὶ πόθεν εἶ; καὶ εἶπεν τὸ παιδάριον τὸ Αἰγύπτιον Ἐγώ εἰμι δοῦλος ἀνδρὸς Αμαληκίτου...

LXX 1 Kings 30:11-13

 

2. From the account of Jesus’ third appearance to his disciples after his death and resurrection: Jesus has appeared and guided his disciples to an enormous catch of fish. At this point, none dared to ask:

Σὺ τίς εἶ; εἰδότες ὅτι ὁ κύριός ἐστιν. (13.) ἔρχεται Ἰησοῦς καὶ λαμβάνει τὸν ἄρτον καὶ δίδωσιν αὐτοῖς, καὶ τὸ ὀψάριον ὁμοίως.

Κατὰ Ἰωάννην 21:12-13

 

3. Paul urges the bishops (ἐπίσκοποι) at Ephesus to heed “the words of Jesus” (τῶν λόγων τοῦ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ):

αὐτὸς εἶπεν, Μακάριόν ἐστιν μᾶλλον διδόναι ἢ λαμβάνειν.

Πράξεις Ἀποστόλων 20:35
