And was

When He saw the crowds, His heart was moved with pity for them, because they were tired and scattered like sheep without a shepherd.

Then Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, "My heart is moved with pity for the crowd, for it is now three days they have been staying with me, and they have nothing at all left to eat, and I fear they might give out on the way home."

So when He got out of the boat, He saw a great crowd waiting, and His heart was moved with pity at the sight of them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and so He proceeded to teach them a number of things.

In those days when a great crowd again had gathered and they had nothing to eat, He called His disciples to Him, and said,

and many a time it has thrown him into the fire or into the water, to destroy him. But if there is anything you can do for him, do pity us and help us!"

Now when the Lord saw her, His heart was moved with pity for her, and so He said to her, "Stop weeping."

As He approached it, just as soon as He saw the city, He burst into tears over it,

For we do not have a High Priest who is incapable of sympathizing with us in our weaknesses, but we have One who was tempted in every respect as we are, and yet without committing any sin.

Such a one is capable of dealing tenderly with the ignorant and erring ones, since he himself is subject to weakness,
