Abstract
The work at hand is an exposition of the acts of compassion in the synoptic
gospels, most of which are associated with Jesus himself, whereby he is moved with
compassion for people in different kinds of needs. Mostly, Jesus was moved with
compassion to heal. He was also moved with compassion for the crowds. There are also
other acts of compassion in the synoptic gospels that are not directly connected with
Jesus. Such acts are found in some parables. Part of this introduction will list the
occurrences of compassion in the synoptic gospels, besides looking at the meaning of the
word "compassion" as it appears in the synoptics.
