It is found in Luke 6:36 with a parallel in Matthew 5:48 (very early Q material for those of you who like to know things like that): “be compassionate as God is compassionate.” The word for “compassionate” in both Hebrew and Aramaic is related to the word for “womb.” Thus, to be compassionate is to be womblike, to be like a womb. God is womblike, Jesus says, therefore, you be womblike.
