Using search for person intersecting word

I tried a Logos 8 search template to come up with this search:

{Speaker <Person Jesus>} INTERSECTS "thanks"

I found that it did not reveal Mark 14:23: "And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it." (NASB95)

So how might I have searched for Jesus giving thanks or a blessing?

One suggestion is using Bible Sense Lexicon

<Person Jesus> INTERSECTS <Sense to thank>

Keep Smiling [:)]

Mark 14:23 is narrative not direct speech so no speaker is assigned and the search should not be expected to return it as a result.

Expanded search a bit to include vocative addressed to God

(<Person Jesus> INTERSECTS <Sense to thank>) OR ({Speaker <Person Jesus>} INTERSECTS <Person God> INTERSECTS ([field bible, content] <LogosMorphGr ~ NV???>))

Keep Smiling [:)]

Hmm. Does this mean I have to learn Klingon? [:D]

Using search for person intersecting word

I agree with all previous advice. Your question also suggest that you may not know that "thanks" INTERSECT <Person Jesus>. How would you go about to discover words intersecting Jesus?

You can also search all instances for a Part of Speech using Morph. You will find that "thanks" will not be highlighted in Mark 14:23 because "given thanks" translates the Greek word εὐχαριστήσας. Only "given" will be found.

@V INTERSECTS <Person Jesus>

Use the following possibility only in a short references, chapter or maybe a book. This is to discover words related to a letter of the alphabet.

(t*,b*) INTERSECTS <Person ~ Jesus>

You can extend (t*,b*) with the complete alphabet but this will slow down the search and take very long.

Learning Greek provides new meaning for phrase "that's Greek to me" [:P]

{Speaker <Person Jesus>} INTERSECTS <Person God> includes prayers plus much more.

Morph Search has a picker for Noun Vocative

Changing Morph Search {Speaker <Person Jesus>} INTERSECTS <Person God> INTERSECTS <LogosMorphGr ~ NV???>

to Bible Search has automatic "Klingon" modification

({Speaker <Person Jesus>} INTERSECTS ([field bible, content] <Person ~ God>) INTERSECTS ([field bible, content] <LogosMorphGr ~ NV???>))

Search <Person Jesus> INTERSECTS thanks

includes results that have two more senses

(<Sense to bless (favor)> OR <Sense to profess (acknowledge)> OR <Sense to thank>) INTERSECTS <Person Jesus>

You will find that "thanks" will not be highlighted in Mark 14:23

Verb has <Sense = to pray (petition)> so search can be expanded

(<Sense to bless (favor)> OR <Sense to profess (acknowledge)> OR <Sense to thank> OR <Sense to pray (petition)>) INTERSECTS <Person Jesus>
