'Thing' in the Bible

you yourselves know the thing which took place throughout all Judea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed.

Therefore take heed, so that the thing spoken of in the Prophets may not come upon you:

So then, some were shouting one thing and some another, for the assembly was in confusion and the majority did not know for what reason they had come together.

But among the crowd some were shouting one thing and some another, and when he could not find out the facts because of the uproar, he ordered him to be brought into the barracks.
