  • Philippians 2:12 is quoted in Jim Henson's documentary Youth 68.
  • In episode 103 of The Muppet Show, Fozzie Bear tells the following joke to Hilda: "I knew a minister once, who was so religious, when he read the Bible, he wore stain glasses." Fozzie told the joke again 39 years later in a "Fozzie's Bear-ly Funny Fridays" video posted to YouTube and Facebook on June 5th, 2015.
  • While reading the script for John Denver & the Muppets: A Christmas Together, Kermit recites, "a Christmas message from all of us to all of you: peace on Earth, goodwill toward men." Piggy stops to object about the omission of women from the statement. Denver's defense is that they took it from the Bible. Piggy counters, "the Bible is filled with women. This one begat that one and that one begat the other one... from all the begating that went on, it's quite obvious there was a great deal of goodwill toward women."
  • The July 22, 1982 Muppets comic strip places Piggy and Kermit in an analogue to the Garden of Eden where a snake offers Piggy an apple in reference to Satan's temptation of Eve in Genesis.
  • Statler paraphrases "Matthew, Chapter 5" in the March 10, 1983 strip, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."
  • After Captain Vegetable skips the cabbage and cucumber to slurp down a glass of milk in Sesame Street Episode 1858, he paraphrases "Matthew" chapter 4, verse 4: "After all, man cannot live by crunchy vegetables alone."

  • The Sam Arrow Action Figure released by Palisades Toys in 2003 included a Bible as an accessory. The book opened up to a hollow space into which a secret buried treasure map could be hidden.
  • Later in the film, Long John Silver upbraids his crew for daring to desecrate "the Holy Scripture" by tearing a page from the Bible to give Silver the Black Spot.
  • The film's accompanying documentary references Genesis when explaining the beginning of the script's origins. A narrator ominously announces, "In the beginning of Muppet creation" while an on-screen title is displayed against the dark backdrop from the film in which only Rizzo and the islander pigs' eyes can be seen, referencing the second line on Genesis in which the world was in darkness.
  • In The Muppets episode "Hostile Makeover," Piggy, in a fit of rage, complains about having thin-tipped Sharpie markers. She angrily comments she needs them to sign autographs, not write the Bible on a grain of rice.

  • In the Farscape episode "They've Got a Secret," while walking down one of Moya's halls with Aeryn Sun, John Crichton says he'll never get used to walking inside a living ship. Aeryn asks Crichton if he has anything similar in his culture, to which Chricton responds, "Well, Jonah and the whale. But no, no contemporary parallels. Except for the horse and rider."
