Matthew 14:14

12 Then his disciples came and took away the body and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

Feeding the Five Thousand

13 ^aWhen Jesus heard it, He departed from there by boat to a deserted place by Himself. But when the multitudes heard it, they followed Him on foot from the cities.

14 And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He ^awas moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick.

15 ^aWhen it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food.”

16 But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”

17 And they said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”

18 He said, “Bring them here to Me.”

19 Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, ^aHe blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.

20 So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.

21 Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Jesus Walks on the Sea

22 Immediately Jesus¹ made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.

23 ^aAnd when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. ^bNow when evening came, He was alone there.

24 But the boat was now¹ in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.

Matthew 14:14

Jesus - was moved with compassion - , he was moved with tender compassion, so I think the word should in general be translated: see the note on Matthew 9:36. As a verb, it does not appear to have been used by any but ecclesiastical writers. It always intimates that motion of the bowels, accompanied with extreme tenderness and concern, which is felt at the sight of the miseries of another.
