To be compassionate to a person is to without control feel their sorrow withing your'e heart and wish the best for them. Even if you dont know them as you hear of them and you hear their story you suddenly want to change their lives just as Jesus portrayed in the story. He helped many from lepars to the blind to the dead. 

 Jesus also had compassion for us when he payed that price as a sacrifice for our . I love you Jesus and thank you deeply!.
