'Thank' in the Bible

Does he thank the servant for obeying his orders?

The Pharisee, standing erect, prayed as follows by himself: "'O God, I thank Thee that I am not like other people--I am not a thief nor a cheat nor an adulterer, nor do I even resemble this tax-gatherer.

So they removed the stone. Then Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard me.

"Immediately, therefore, I sent to you, and I thank you heartily for having come. That is why all of us are now assembled here in God's presence, to listen to what the Lord has commanded you to say."

First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for what He has done for all of you; for the report of your faith is spreading through the whole world.

I thank my God continually on your behalf for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus--

I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius--

I speak in a tongue, thank God, more than all of you;

I thank my God at my every remembrance of you--

I thank my God, I say, for your cooperation in spreading the Good News, from the time it first came to you even until now.

Yet I thank you for taking your share in my troubles.

I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience--as my forefathers did--that night and day I unceasingly remember you in my prayers,
