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

35 And Jesus went through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every infirmity. 36 And when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were troubled and scattered as sheep that had no shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples: The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.
