Gloria Copeland — Jesus Had Compassion For The Sick

Matthew 12:22
KJV—Then was brought unto him one possessed
with a devil, blind, and dumb: and
he healed him, insomuch that the blind and
dumb both spake and saw.
Amp—Then a blind and dumb man, under
the power of a demon, was brought to
Jesus, and He cured him, so that the blind
and dumb man both spoke and saw.
Moffatt—Then a blind and dumb demoniac
was brought to him, and he healed him, so
that the dumb man spoke and saw.
NEB—Then they brought him a man who
was possessed; he was blind and dumb;
and Jesus cured him, restoring both speech
and sight.
Matthew 14:14
KJV—And Jesus went forth, and saw a great
multitude, and was moved with compassion
toward them, and he healed their sick.
Amp—When He went ashore and saw a
great throng of people, He had compassion
(pity and deep sympathy) for them and
cured their sick.
Moffatt—So when he disembarked, he saw
a large crowd, and out of pity for them he
healed their sick folk.
NEB—When he came ashore, he saw a
great crowd; his heart went out to them,
and he cured those of them who were sick.
Matthew 14:34-36
KJV—And when (Jesus and His disciples)
were gone over, they came into the land
of Gennesaret. And when the men of that
place had knowledge of him, they sent
out into all that country round about, and
brought unto him all that were diseased;
And besought him that they might only
touch the hem of his garment: and as many
as touched were made perfectly whole.
Amp—And when they had crossed over
to the other side, they went ashore at
Gennesaret. And when the men of that
place recognized Him, they sent around into
all the surrounding country and brought
to Him all that were sick, And begged Him
to let them merely touch the fringe of His
garment; and as many as touched it were
perfectly restored.
Moffatt—On crossing over they came to
land at Gennesaret. The men of that place
recognized him and sent all over the surrounding
country, bringing him all who
were ill and begging him to let them touch
the mere tassel of his robe—and all who
touched it got perfectly well.
NEB—So they finished the crossing and
came to land at Gennesaret. There Jesus
was recognized by the people of the place,
who sent out word to all the country round.
And all who were ill were brought to him,
and he was begged to allow them simply to
touch the edge of his cloak. And everyone
who touched it was completely cured.
