Matthew 9:35-38 - A Plentiful Harvest But Few Workers
35 And Jesus was going round all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the glad-message of the kingdom, - and curing every disease, and every infirmity. 36 But, seeing the multitudes, he was moved with compassion concerning them, because they were torn and thrown down, like sheep hating no shepherd. 37 Then, saith he unto his disciples, The harvest, indeed, is great, but, the labourers, few; 38 Beg ye, therefore, of the Lord of the harvest, - That he would thrust forth labourers, into his harvest.
