And by the way, it says he saw them. And that's the same word in the Greek that on the Sermon on the Mount, when it says, and seeing the multitude, he went up on the mountain. And when he was set, he opened his mouth and he taught them saying. That word, and seeing the multitude is the same word here. And it means that when Jesus looked, he saw with perception and a discerning eye. So he didn't just take a quick glance and say, oh, here they come again. He actually looked and with perception and discerning, the discerning eye of the good shepherd, he saw and understood that the crowd were hurting. They were like sheep without a shepherd. And it caused him to have compassion.
