Matthew 9:35-38 - A Plentiful Harvest But Few Workers

³⁵ Then Jesus made a tour through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the Reign, and healing every disease and complaint. ³⁶ As he saw the crowds he was moved with pity for them; they were harassed and dejected, like sheep without a shepherd. ³⁷ Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is rich, but the labourers are few; ³⁸ so pray the Lord of the harvest to send labourers to gather his harvest."
