[Jer. 31:15], "A voice was heard in [the town of] Ramah [Note: This was a village near Jerusalem, where Rachel was buried], with crying and deep mourning. It was Rachel crying for her children [Note: Initially this was a reference to the Israelites who were taken to Babylonian captivity. See Jer. 29-31]. She refused to be comforted because they were dead."

"Those persons who feel a deep sense of their personal need are blessed because the kingdom of heaven belongs to them.

But when the large crowds saw [what had happened], they were filled with deep reverence and gave honor to God for giving such authority to men.

When Jesus came out [of His place of seclusion] and saw a large crowd, He felt a deep compassion for them and healed their sick people.

But that person who causes one of these little ones [i.e., humble followers of the Lord] who believes in me to be led astray [from God], he would have been better off to have had a huge millstone tied around his neck and dumped into a deep ocean [Note: This "millstone" was a heavy circular stone rolled over grain to crush it and was moved by an animal walking in a circle].

And the master of that servant felt deep pity [for him], so released him [from custody] and canceled his debt.

Jesus felt deep pity for them, so He touched their eyes and immediately their sight was restored, and they became [His] followers.

Just then the Temple curtain was torn in two from top to bottom, the ground shook, and rocks were split open.
