Compassion

Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched him. “I am willing,” He told him. “Be made clean.”

But He would not let him; instead, He told him, “Go back home to your own people, and report to them how much the Lord has done for you and how He has had mercy on you.”

So as He stepped ashore, He saw a huge crowd and had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. Then He began to teach them many things.

“And many times it has thrown him into fire or water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”

As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.

The Lord is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and great in faithful love.

He will again have compassion on us;
He will vanquish our iniquities.
You will cast all our sins
into the depths of the sea.

When He saw the crowds, He felt compassion for them, because they were weary and worn out, like sheep without a shepherd.

As He stepped ashore, He saw a huge crowd, felt compassion for them, and healed their sick.

Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes. Immediately they could see, and they followed Him.

So he got up and went to his father. But while the son was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him.

Therefore, He had to be like His brothers in every way, so that He could become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tested in every way as we are, yet without sin.

He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he is also subject to weakness.

And have

After He had fasted 40 days and 40 nights, He was hungry.

For the idolaters eagerly seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, worn out from His journey, sat down at the well. It was about six in the evening.
