# knew their thoughts

Jesus knew what they were thinking either supernaturally or because he could see them talking to each other.

# Why are you thinking evil in your hearts?

Jesus used this question to rebuke the scribes. Here "hearts" refers to their minds or their thoughts. Alternate translation: "Do not think evil thoughts." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

# evil

This is moral evil or wickedness, not simply error in fact.
