Matthew 9:35-38

35Jesus was going through all the cities and villages, 1teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness.

362Seeing the crowds, He felt compassion for them, 3because they were 4distressed and downcast, like sheep 5without a shepherd. 37Then He said to His disciples, “6The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. 38Therefore, plead with the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”
