While he firmly reminded them of the consequences of their faithlessness, he was moved with pity by the miserable spiritual condition of the ʽam ha·ʼaʹrets, the lowly, ordinary folk among them. ​ — Matthew 9: 35, 36; 11: 20 - 24.
Meskipun ia dengan tegas mengingatkan mereka akan konsekuensi atas ketiadaan iman mereka, ia tergerak oleh rasa kasihan terhadap keadaan rohani yang memilukan dari para ʽam ha·ʼaʹrets, rakyat jelata di antara mereka. ​ — Matius 9: 35, 36; 11: 20 - 24.
