'Mean' in the Bible
But he denied [it] in the presence of [them] all, saying, "I do not know what you mean!"
But he denied [it], saying, "I neither know nor understand what you mean!" And he went out into the gateway, and a rooster crowed.
And all were amazed and greatly perplexed, saying {to one another}, "{What can this mean?}"
For you are bringing some astonishing things to our ears. Therefore we want to know what {these things mean}."
And if their trespass [means] riches for the world and their loss [means] riches for the Gentiles, how much more [will] their fullness [mean]?
For if their rejection [means] the reconciliation of the world, what [will] their acceptance [mean] except life from the dead?
By no means [did I mean] the sexually immoral people of this world or the greedy people and swindlers or idolaters, since then you would have to depart out of the world.
