Jesus shows compassion, healed the handicapped and feed thousands

Matthew 15:29-38
[29]Jesus left there and went along by Lake Galilee. He climbed a hill and sat down.
[30]Large crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the dumb, and many other sick people, whom they placed at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them.
[31]The people were amazed as they saw the dumb speaking, the crippled made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they praised the God of Israel.
[32]Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I feel sorry for these people, because they have been with me for three days and now have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away without feeding them, for they might faint on their way home.”
[33]The disciples asked him, “Where will we find enough food in this desert to feed this crowd?”
[34]“How much bread have you?” Jesus asked.“Seven loaves,” they answered, “and a few small fish.”
[35]So Jesus ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground.
[36]Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, gave thanks to God, broke them, and gave them to the disciples; and the disciples gave them to the people.
[37]They all ate and had enough. Then the disciples took up seven baskets full of pieces left over.
[38]The number of men who ate was 4,000, not counting the women and children.
