Matthew 9:36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad… His compassion manifested in — I. The great transactions of His life. II. The foresights of compassion. 1. The Bible for our guidance. 2. The minister to speak to man. 3. The Holy Spirit to comfort. 4. The mercy-seat as our resort. 5. The promises as our food. 6. The ordinances. III. Our personal recollections prove this compassion. 1. He tempered our convictions with intervals of hope. 2. He has moderated our afflictions. 3. He has put us to graduated tasks. (C. H. Spurgeon.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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. |
