'Thus' in the Bible

At once perceiving by His spirit that they were reasoning within themselves, Jesus asked them, "Why do you thus argue in your minds?

thus nullifying God's precept by your tradition which you have handed down. And many things of that kind you do."

But there were some who said indignantly among themselves, "Why has the ointment been thus wasted?

So the Lord Jesus after having thus spoken to them was taken up into Heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
