Bible verses about "empathy" | BBE

³⁶ And one of the Pharisees made a request that he would take a meal with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house and took his seat at the table. ³⁷ And there was a woman in the town who was a sinner; and when she had news that he was a guest in the Pharisee's house, she took a bottle of perfume, ³⁸ And went in and took her place at the back of him, near his feet, weeping, so that his feet were washed with the drops from her eyes, and with her hair she made them dry, and kissing his feet she put the perfume on them. ³⁹ Now when the Pharisee in whose house he was saw it, he said to himself, This man, if he was a prophet, would be conscious what sort of woman this is who has put her hands on him, that she is a sinner. ⁴⁰ And Jesus, answering, said, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he said, Master, say on. ⁴¹ And he said, Two men were in debt to a certain man of business: one had a debt of five hundred pence, and the other of fifty. ⁴² When they were unable to make payment, he made the two of them free of their debts. Which of them, now, will have the greater love for him? ⁴³ Simon, in answer, said, It seems he whose debt was greater. And he said, Your decision is right. ⁴⁴ And turning to the woman he said to Simon, You see this woman? I came into your house; you did not give me water for my feet: but she has been washing my feet with the drops from her eyes, and drying them with her hair. ⁴⁵ You did not give me a kiss: but she, from the time when I came in, has gone on kissing my feet. ⁴⁶ You put no oil on my head: but she has put perfume on my feet. ⁴⁷ And so I say to you, She will have forgiveness for her sins which are great in number, because of her great love: but he who has small need of forgiveness gives little love. ⁴⁸ And he said to her, You have forgiveness for your sins. ⁴⁹ And those who were seated at table with him said to themselves, Who is this who even gives forgiveness of sins? ⁵⁰ And he said to the woman, By your faith you have salvation; go in peace.

³³ And when Jesus saw her weeping, and saw the Jews weeping who came with her, his spirit was moved and he was troubled, ³⁴ And said, Where have you put him? They said, Come and see, Lord. ³⁵ And Jesus himself was weeping.

³ Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort; ⁴ Who gives us comfort in all our troubles, so that we may be able to give comfort to others who are in trouble, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

¹⁴ Having then a great high priest, who has made his way through the heavens, even Jesus the Son of God, let us be strong in our faith. ¹⁵ For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched by the feelings of our feeble flesh; but we have one who has been tested in all points as we ourselves are tested, but without sin. ¹⁶ Then let us come near to the seat of grace without fear, so that mercy may be given to us, and we may get grace for our help in time of need.

¹² This is the law I give you: Have love one for another, even as I have love for you.

⁸ Last of all, see that you are all in agreement; feeling for one another, loving one another like brothers, full of pity, without pride:

¹² All those things, then, which you would have men do to you, even so do you to them: because this is the law and the prophets.

³² And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.

¹⁵ Take part in the joy of those who are glad, and in the grief of those who are sorrowing.
