How do we know that Jesus had compassion for the people?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' compassion is evident in His actions, particularly in His feeding of the 5000, where He prioritized their needs over their desires for a physical king.

Jesus showed His compassion explicitly during the miracle of feeding the 5000, as seen in Mark 6:34, where He saw the multitude and had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. Instead of sending them away to fend for themselves, He provided for their needs, illustrating the heart of God towards man. This act was not solely about meeting physical hunger; it was also intended to lead them to seek deeper spiritual nourishment. Jesus was aware that many in the crowd did not truly believe in Him, yet He acted with grace and mercy, teaching us the importance of compassion and outreach to both the physical and spiritual needs of others.
