I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way." Mt 15:32                Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him. Mt 20:34            Filled with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!"
