As he saw the crowds, his heart was filled with pity for them, because they were worried and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

Jesus got out of the boat, and when he saw the large crowd, his heart was filled with pity for them, and he healed their sick.

Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I feel sorry for these people, because they have been with me for three days and now have nothing to eat. I don't want to send them away without feeding them, for they might faint on their way home."

The LORD is loving and merciful, slow to become angry and full of constant love.

When the Lord saw her, his heart was filled with pity for her, and he said to her, "Don't cry."

Jesus saw her weeping, and he saw how the people with her were weeping also; his heart was touched, and he was deeply moved.

Jesus wept.

This means that he had to become like his people in every way, in order to be their faithful and merciful High Priest in his service to God, so that the people's sins would be forgiven.

Our High Priest is not one who cannot feel sympathy for our weaknesses. On the contrary, we have a High Priest who was tempted in every way that we are, but did not sin.

Let us have confidence, then, and approach God's throne, where there is grace. There we will receive mercy and find grace to help us just when we need it.

To conclude: you must all have the same attitude and the same feelings; love one another, and be kind and humble with one another.

Then Jesus touched their eyes and said, "Let it happen, then, just as you believe!"---

So Jesus took him off alone, away from the crowd, put his fingers in the man's ears, spat, and touched the man's tongue.

But Jesus said, "Enough of this!" He touched the man's ear and healed him.

After he said this, Jesus spat on the ground and made some mud with the spittle; he rubbed the mud on the man's eyes

and told him, "Go and wash your face in the Pool of Siloam." (This name means "Sent.") So the man went, washed his face, and came back seeing.

He touched her hand; the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait on him.

Before you punished me, I used to go wrong, but now I obey your word.

My punishment was good for me, because it made me learn your commands.

At once he was able to see, and he followed Jesus, giving thanks to God. When the crowd saw it, they all praised God.

You are to open their eyes and turn them from the darkness to the light and from the power of Satan to God, so that through their faith in me they will have their sins forgiven and receive their place among God's chosen people.'
