14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you;+

13 Go, then, and learn what this means: ‘I want mercy, and not sacrifice.’+ For I came to call, not righteous people, but sinners.”

7 However, if you had understood what this means, ‘I want mercy+ and not sacrifice,’+ you would not have condemned the guiltless ones.

33 Should you not also have shown mercy to your fellow slave as I showed mercy to you?’+

23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you give the tenth of the mint and the dill and the cumin,+ but you have disregarded the weightier* matters of the Law, namely, justice+ and mercy+ and faithfulness.* These things it was necessary to do, yet not to disregard the other things.+

29 But wanting to prove himself righteous,+ the man said to Jesus: “Who really is my neighbor?” 30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jerʹi·cho and fell victim to robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went off, leaving him half-dead. 31 Now by coincidence a priest was going down on that road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. 32 Likewise, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the opposite side. 33 But a certain Sa·marʹi·tan+ traveling the road came upon him, and at seeing him, he was moved with pity. 34 So he approached him and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. Then he mounted him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two de·narʹi·i, gave them to the innkeeper, and said: ‘Take care of him, and whatever you spend besides this, I will repay you when I return.’ 36 Who of these three seems to you to have made himself neighbor+ to the man who fell victim to the robbers?” 37 He said: “The one who acted mercifully toward him.”+ Jesus then said to him: “Go and do the same yourself.”+

13 For the one who does not practice mercy will have his judgment without mercy.+ Mercy triumphs over judgment.
