When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

When he went ashore, he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion for them and cured their sick.

Feeding the Four Thousand

Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion for the crowd because they have been with me now for three days and have nothing to eat, and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way.”

Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes. Immediately they regained their sight and followed him.
