This wasn’t fair. The correct answer is actually none of the above and all of the above, depending on which Christian tradition you ask. All four phrases appear in the deuterocanonical part of Daniel, the 13th and 14th chapters that are included in Roman Catholic and many Eastern Orthodox Bibles but not in Protestant or Jewish Bibles. The stories that these phrases come from are tabled above.
The Phrase
The Story
The two elders . . . had hidden themselves and were watching her [bathe]. (Daniel 13:16 NABRE)
The story of Susanna, a beautiful young woman who is spied on and entrapped by lustful elders before being rescued by Daniel. (Daniel 13:1-64 NABRE)
Daniel laughed . . . He said, “Look at the floor and consider whose footprints these are.” (Daniel 14:19 NABRE)
The story of Bel, an idol worshipped in Babylon that Daniel exposes for a fraud. Daniel tricks Bel’s priests into revealing they are the ones who consume the food on his altar. (Daniel 14:1-22 NABRE)
And when the dragon ate [the cakes], he burst. (Daniel 14:27 NABRE)
“Daniel, Daniel,” cried Habakkuk, “take the meal God has sent you.” (Daniel 14:37 NABRE)
The story of the Dragon, where Daniel poisons a dragon worshipped in Babylon as a god. Following the death of the dragon, Daniel is thrown into another lion’s den, where he is visited by the prophet Habakkuk and rescued by an angel. (Daniel 14:23-42 NABRE)
