'Thinking' in the Bible
Everyone who heard about it kept thinking what had happened and asked, "What will this child become?" because it was obvious that the hand of the Lord was with him.
But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he told the man with the paralyzed hand, "Get up, and stand in the middle of the synagogue." So he got up and stood there.
Since he knew what they were thinking, he told them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is devastated, and a divided household collapses.
Jesus also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves, thinking they were righteous, but who looked down on everyone else:
They were startled and terrified, thinking they were seeing a ghost.
