The Compassion Of Christ

Behold, now it came to pass that
when Jesus had spoken these words
he looked round about again on the multitude,
and he said unto them:
Behold, my time is at hand.

I perceive that ye are weak,
that ye cannot understand all my words
which I am commanded of the Father
to speak unto you at this time.

And it came to pass that
when Jesus had thus spoken,
he cast his eyes round about
again on the multitude,
and beheld they were in tears,
and did look steadfastly upon him
as if they would ask him
to tarry a little longer with them.

And he said unto them: Behold,
my bowels are filled with
 compassion towards you.
