'Understand' in the Bible

Why don't you understand what I've said? It's because you can't listen to my words.

But if I'm doing them, even though you don't believe me, believe the actions, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."
At first, his disciples didn't understand these things. However, when Jesus had been glorified, they remembered that these things had been written about him and that people had done these things to him.
"He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, so that they might not perceive with their eyes, and understand with their mind and turn, and I would heal them."
Jesus answered him, "You don't realize now what I'm doing, but later on you'll understand."
If you understand these things, how blessed you are if you put them into practice!
