Scriptures that address Jesus' knowing the thoughts of others

from a google search i found Bible scriptures indicating that Jesus knew people's thoughts or intentions. they include Matthew 9:4 and Matthew 12:25, where He directly addresses the thoughts of the scribes and Pharisees. In Luke 5:22-23, Jesus perceives the reasonings of the religious leaders and speaks to their unspoken questions. Furthermore, John 2:24-25 states that Jesus knew what was in people and did not entrust Himself to them because of this complete knowledge. 

Here are some specific passages:

  • Matthew 9:4:

    "But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?”" 

  • Matthew 12:25:

    "Jesus knew what the Pharisees were thinking. So he said to them, “Every kingdom that is fighting against itself will be destroyed..." 

  • Luke 5:22-23:

    "But Jesus, perceiving their reasonings, answered and said to them, “Why are you reasoning in your hearts? Which is easier: to say, 'Your sins have been forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'?" 

  • John 2:24-25:

    "But Jesus did not entrust himself to them, because he knew them all, and needed no one to bear witness about man, for he himself knew what was in man". 

  • Matthew 12:34:

    "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks". This verse, while spoken by Jesus, shows His understanding of the inner intentions that lead to outward speech, and He often confronts people with the inner thoughts behind their words or questions.
