Divine Mercy in Scripture

Exo 34:5 And Yahweh descended in a cloud and stood with him there and pronounced the name Yahweh.

Exo 34:6 Then Yahweh passed before him and called out, ‘Yahweh, Yahweh, God of tenderness and compassion, slow to anger, rich in faithful love and constancy,

Isa 1:17 Learn to do good, search for justice, discipline the violent, be just to the orphan, plead for the widow.

Isa 1:18 ‘Come, let us talk this over,’ says Yahweh. ‘Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.

Isa 1:19 If you are willing to obey, you shall eat the good things of the earth.

Isa 1:20 But if you refuse and rebel, the sword shall eat you instead — for Yahweh’s mouth has spoken.’

Neh 9:31 But, because of your great compassion, you did not destroy them completely nor abandon them, for you are a gracious, compassionate God

Psa 103:9 his indignation does not last for ever, nor his resentment remain for all time;

Psa 103:10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve, nor repay us as befits our offences.

Psa 103:11 As the height of heaven above earth, so strong is his faithful love for those who fear him.

Psa 103:12 As the distance of east from west, so far from us does he put our faults.

Psa 103:13 As tenderly as a father treats his children, so Yahweh treats those who fear him;

Psa 103:14 he knows of what we are made, he remembers that we are dust.

Psa 103:15 As for a human person — his days are like grass, he blooms like the wild flowers;

Psa 103:16 as soon as the wind blows he is gone, never to be seen there again.

Psa 103:17 But Yahweh’s faithful love for those who fear him is from eternity and for ever; and his saving justice to their children’s children;

Psa 103:18 as long as they keep his covenant, and carefully obey his precepts.

Psa 130:3 If you kept a record of our sins, Lord, who could stand their ground?

Psa 130:4 But with you is forgiveness, that you may be revered.

Isa 44:21 Remember these things, Jacob, and Israel, since you are my servant. I formed you, you are my servant; Israel, I shall not forget you.

Isa 44:22 I have dispelled your acts of revolt like a cloud and your sins like a mist. Come back to me, for I have redeemed you

Lam 3:22 Surely Yahweh’s mercies are not over, his deeds of faithful love not exhausted;

 

Mat 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we have forgiven those who are in debt to us

Mat 6:14 ‘Yes, if you forgive others their failings, your heavenly Father will forgive you yours;

Luk 15:11 Then he said, ‘There was a man who had two sons.

Luk 15:12 The younger one said to his father, “Father, let me have the share of the estate that will come to me.” So the father divided the property between them.

Luk 15:13 A few days later, the younger son got together everything he had and left for a distant country where he squandered his money on a life of debauchery.

Luk 15:14 ‘When he had spent it all, that country experienced a severe famine, and now he began to feel the pinch;

Luk 15:15 so he hired himself out to one of the local inhabitants who put him on his farm to feed the pigs.

Luk 15:16 And he would willingly have filled himself with the husks the pigs were eating but no one would let him have them.

Luk 15:17 Then he came to his senses and said, “How many of my father’s hired men have all the food they want and more, and here am I dying of hunger!

Luk 15:18 I will leave this place and go to my father and say: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you;

Luk 15:19 I no longer deserve to be called your son; treat me as one of your hired men.”

Luk 15:20 So he left the place and went back to his father. ‘While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was moved with pity. He ran to the boy, clasped him in his arms and kissed him.

Luk 15:21 Then his son said, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I no longer deserve to be called your son.”

Luk 15:22 But the father said to his servants, “Quick! Bring out the best robe and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.

Luk 15:23 Bring the calf we have been fattening, and kill it; we will celebrate by having a feast,

Luk 15:24 because this son of mine was dead and has come back to life; he was lost and is found.” And they began to celebrate.

Luk 15:25 ‘Now the elder son was out in the fields, and on his way back, as he drew near the house, he could hear music and dancing.

Luk 15:26 Calling one of the servants he asked what it was all about.

Luk 15:27 The servant told him, “Your brother has come, and your father has killed the calf we had been fattening because he has got him back safe and sound.”

Luk 15:28 He was angry then and refused to go in, and his father came out and began to urge him to come in;

Luk 15:29 but he retorted to his father, “All these years I have slaved for you and never once disobeyed any orders of yours, yet you never offered me so much as a kid for me to celebrate with my friends.

Luk 15:30 But, for this son of yours, when he comes back after swallowing up your property — he and his loose women — you kill the calf we had been fattening.”

Luk 15:31 ‘The father said, “My son, you are with me always and all I have is yours.

Luk 15:32 But it was only right we should celebrate and rejoice, because your brother here was dead and has come to life; he was lost and is found.” ‘

Luk 23:34 Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing.’ Then they cast lots to share out his clothing.

Joh 8:3 The scribes and Pharisees brought a woman along who had been caught committing adultery; and making her stand there in the middle

Joh 8:4 they said to Jesus, ‘Master, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery,

Joh 8:5 and in the Law Moses has ordered us to stone women of this kind. What have you got to say?’

Joh 8:6 They asked him this as a test, looking for an accusation to use against him. But Jesus bent down and started writing on the ground with his finger.

Joh 8:7 As they persisted with their question, he straightened up and said, ‘Let the one among you who is guiltless be the first to throw a stone at her.’

Joh 8:8 Then he bent down and continued writing on the ground.

Joh 8:9 When they heard this they went away one by one, beginning with the eldest, until the last one had gone and Jesus was left alone with the woman, who remained in the middle.

Joh 8:10 Jesus again straightened up and said, ‘Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?’

Joh 8:11 ‘No one, sir,’ she replied. ‘Neither do I condemn you,’ said Jesus. ‘Go away, and from this moment sin no more.’
