'Mean' in the Bible

Then his disciples asked him, "What does this parable mean?"

They were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, "What does this mean?"

Now while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, stood before the gate,

For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean."

Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "I follow Christ."
