Here's a self-service way to answer any question like this one.
Get an Exhaustive Bible Concordance and look it up. This is a book that will list every time a word is mentioned in the Bible. You can get them for various translations. You can even get them in the original languages. They cost $20 to $30 depending on what you get.

[ King James ]-[ Mt:16:18 ]-[ And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. ]
[ King James ]-[ Lk:8:6 ]-[ And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. ]
