'Means' in the Bible

Most certainly I tell you, you shall by no means get out of there, until you have paid the last penny.

But you go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

But if you had known what this means, 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless.
