In the Bible, mercy is defined as compassionate treatment, especially when one has the power to punish or harm. It encompasses forgiveness, withholding judgment, and providing relief from suffering or hardship. God’s mercy is portrayed as an attribute of his character, showing his pity and kindness towards people, even when they are not deserving of it.

Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”
