The KJV renders 30 different Hebrew and Greek words as “thing”
What it means
something said (including the thought); by implication, a topic (subject of discourse), also reasoning (the mental faculty) or motive; by extension, a computation; specially, (with the article in John) the Divine Expression (i.e. Christ)
from G3004 (λέγω);
How the KJV renders it
account, cause, communication, x concerning, doctrine, fame, x have to do, intent, matter, mouth, preaching, question, reason, remove, say, shew, x speaker, speech, talk, thing, tidings, treatise, utterance, word, work
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
