Let your light shine before men, so that they may … give glory to your Father in the heavens.—Matt. 5:16.

“When we shine our light before others by living righteously, we are making visible the character of the Father.

NTTC MARK 1:41: Was Jesus “Moved with Pity” or “Moved With Anger”?

It is easy to see how “moved with anger” would have been changed to “moved with pity.” In that case, the scribe would have been softening the reading. It is very difficult to understand why a scribe would be tempted to change “moved with pity” to “moved with anger.”
