Hello all. Can someone help with a search using any of the search tools that can find all the verses where Jesus knows someone's thoughts/reads mind? How can this be expanded to include anyone reading another's thoughts?
Thank you.John

Welcome to the forums, JKG! [:)]
Perhaps someone can come up with a more elegant approach. All I could devise is this simple proximity search
Jesus NEAR (knew, knowing, perceived, aware) as you can see I limited my search to the Gospels and searched my Top Bibles. There are some false positives, but they are readily recognized as such.
JKG:
I looked in quick collection Jesus...
Jesus NEAR "mind read"
It would be interesting to look up "mind read" in Spiritual gifts collection if you are charismatic.
In a topical resource I found:
"MIND READING
Jesus knew men’s thoughts, Matthew 9:4; Luke 5:22; 6:8; 11:17."
Anderson, K. (1996). Where to Find It in the Bible. Nashville: T. Nelson Publishers.
The screen capture above has in the right an interesting resource that talks about:
"Jesus’ Supernatural Knowledge
Jesus’ supernatural knowledge can be subdivided into two distinct types: his knowledge of human hearts and his very detailed knowledge of future events."
Gathercole, S. J. (2006). The Preexistent Son: Recovering the Christologies of Matthew, Mark, and Luke (p. 70). Grand Rapids, MI; Cambridge, U.K.: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company.
You may also want to look for: Jeus NEAR foresee.
Hope this helps.

Try <Person Jesus> NEAR (knew, knowing, perceived, aware); which gives more positives, along with some false positives.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
