"But soon He was again sought for by the multitude. Supposing that He had gone to His usual place of retirement, the people followed Him thither. His hope to gain even one hour of rest was frustrated. But in the depth of His pure, compassionate heart the Good Shepherd of the sheep had only love and pity for these restless, thirsting souls. All day He ministered to their needs, and at evening dismissed them to go to their homes and rest. MH 57.1"
"And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick."
Both passages describe Jesus' compassion for a multitude and his ministry to them, despite his need for rest. The EGW passage amplifies the details of the event, echoing the compassion mentioned in Matthew.
"And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things."
Similar to Matthew 14:14, this verse in Mark also describes Jesus' compassion for a large crowd, explicitly comparing them to sheep without a shepherd. The EGW passage echoes this sentiment, referring to Jesus as the Good Shepherd and highlighting his compassion for the 'restless, thirsting souls'.
