Matthew 9:32-38

32And as they were going out, behold, 1a 2demon-possessed man who was unable to speak 3was brought to Him. 33And after the demon was cast out, the man who was previously unable to speak talked; and the crowds were amazed, and were saying, “4Nothing like this has ever 5been seen in Israel.” 34But the Pharisees were saying, “He 6casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons.”

35Jesus was going through all the cities and villages, 7teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness.

368Seeing the crowds, He felt compassion for them, 9because they were 10distressed and downcast, like sheep 11without a shepherd. 37Then He said to His disciples, “12The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. 38Therefore, plead with the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”
