WHs Appendix, p. 167; Tdf.

2. to put (as it were) the perception with the thing perceived; to set or join together in the mind, i. e. to understand (so from Homer down; the Sept. for בִּין and הִשְׂכִּיל): with an accusative of the thing, Matthew 13:23, 51; Luke 2:50; Luke 18:34; Luke 24:45; followed by ὅτι, Matthew 16:12; Matthew 17:13; followed by an indirect question, Ephesians 5:17; ἐπί τοῖς ἄρτοις, 'on the loaves' as the basis of their reasoning (see ἐπί, B. 2 a. α.), Mark 6:52; where what is understood is evident from the preceding context, Matthew 13:19; Matthew 15:10; Mark 7:14; absolutely, Matthew 13:13-15; Matthew 15:10; Mark 4:12; Mark 8:17, 21; Luke 8:10; Acts 7:25; Acts 28:26; Romans 15:21; 2 Corinthians 10:12; ὁ συνίων or συνίων as a substantive, (Buttmann, 295 (253f); Winers Grammar, 109 (104)), the man of understanding, Hebraistically equivalent to a good and upright-man (as having knowledge of those things which pertain to salvation; see μωρός): Romans 3:11 (from Psalm 13:2 (Ps. 14:2)). (Synonym: see γινώσκω, at the end.)
