Matthew 9:35-38
35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their
synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and
curing every disease and every sickness. 36 When he saw the
crowds, he had compassion for them because they were harassed
and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his
disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are
few; 38 therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers
into his harvest.”
