Matthew
9:35-38 KJV
35
And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their
synagogues, and preaching The Gospel Of The Kingdom, and healing
every sickness and every disease among the people.
36
But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion on them,
because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no
shepherd.
37
Then saith He unto His disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but
the laborers are few;
38
Pray ye therefore The Lord Of The Harvest, that He will send forth
laborers into His harvest.
Matthew
14:13-21 KJV
13
When Jesus heard of it, He departed thence by ship into a desert
place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed Him
on foot out of the cities.
14
And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with
compassion toward them, and He healed their sick.
15
And when it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, This is a
desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that
they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.
16
But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
17
And they say unto Him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
18
He said, Bring them hither to Me.
19
And He commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the
five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, He
blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to His disciples, and the
disciples to the multitude.
20
And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the
fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
21
And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women
and children.
Matthew
15:29-39 KJV
29
And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of
Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.
30
And great multitudes came unto Him, having with them those that were
lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at
Jesus' feet; and He healed them:
31
Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to
speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to
see: and they glorified The God Of Israel.
32
Then Jesus called His disciples unto Him, and said, I have compassion
on the multitude, because they continue with Me now three days, and
have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they
faint in the way.
33
And His disciples say unto Him, Whence should we have so much bread
in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
34
And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said,
Seven, and a few little fishes.
35
And He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
36
And He took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and
brake them, and gave to His disciples, and the disciples to the
multitude.
37
And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken
meat that was left seven baskets full.
38
And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and
children.
39
And He sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the
coasts of Magdala.
Matthew
20:29-34 KJV
29
And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed Him.
30
And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard
that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord,
thou Son Of David.
31
And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace:
but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son
Of David.
32
And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I
shall do unto you?
33
They say unto Him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
34
So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and
immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.
Mark
3:1-5 KJV (Jesus had
compassion)
1
And He entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there
which had a withered hand.
2
And they watched Him, whether He would heal him on the sabbath day;
that they might accuse Him.
3
And He saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.
4
And He saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days,
or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.
5
And when He had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved
for the hardness of their hearts, He saith unto the man, Stretch
forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored
whole as the other.

5:41,42 KJV

of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
Luke 10:30-37 KJV (God's people, are to show
compassion)
30
And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to
Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment,
and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31
And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he
saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32
And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on
him, and passed by on the other side.
33
But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when
he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34
And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine,
and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took
care of him.
35
And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave
them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever
thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
36
Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbor unto him that
fell among the thieves?
37
And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him,
Go, and do thou likewise.
Luke 15:11-32 KJV (Our Lord's picture of a sinner
repenting of his sin, and calling on The Father)
11
And He said, A certain man had two sons:
12
And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the
portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his
living.
13
And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and
took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance
with riotous living.
14
And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land;
and he began to be in want.
15
And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he
sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16
And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine
did eat: and no man gave unto him.
17
And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my
father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
18
I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I
have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19
And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy
hired servants.
20
And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way
off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his
neck, and kissed him.
21
And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and
in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22
But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and
put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
23
And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be
merry:
24
For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is
found. And they began to be merry.
25
Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to
the house, he heard music and dancing.
26
And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
27
And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed
the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
28
And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out,
and entreated him.
29
And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve
thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet
thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
30
But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living
with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
31
And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have
is thine.
32
It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy
brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
John 8:1-11 KJV (Jesus, Compassionate and
forgiving)
1
Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2
And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the
people came unto Him; and He sat down, and taught them.
3
And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto Him a woman taken in
adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4
They say unto Him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the
very act.
5
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but
what sayest thou?
6
This they said, tempting Him, that they might have to accuse Him. But
Jesus stooped down, and with His finger wrote on the ground, as
though He heard them not.
7
So when they continued asking Him, He lifted up Himself, and said
unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a
stone at her.
8
And again He stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9
And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience,
went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and
Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10
When Jesus had lifted up Himself, and saw none but the woman, He said
unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man
condemned thee?
11
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn
thee: go, and sin no more.
Romans
9:15 KJV
For
He saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I
will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
I Corinthians 13:4-7 NLT (Compassion is love/love
is compassion)
4
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5
or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it
keeps no record of being wronged.
6
It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth
wins out.
7
Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and
endures through every circumstance.

Corinthians 1:3 (DBY)
Blessed
[be] The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Father Of
Compassions, and God Of All Encouragement;
Philippians
2:1-3 ASV
1
If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation
of love, if any fellowship of The Spirit, if any tender mercies and
compassions,
2
make full my joy, that ye be of the same mind, having the same love,
being of one accord, of one mind;
3
[doing] nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in
lowliness of mind each counting other better than himself;
Colossians
3:12 NLT
Since
God chose you to be the holy people He loves, you must clothe
yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness,
and patience.
James
5:11 (CSB)
See,
we count as blessed those who have endured. You have heard of Job's
endurance and have seen the outcome from The Lord: The Lord is very
compassionate and merciful.
Prayer:
Isaiah
54:10 (CSB)
Though
the mountains move and the hills shake, My love will not be removed
from you and My covenant of peace will not be shaken," says your
compassionate Lord.
