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

³⁵ And Jesus was going around all the towns and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and every sickness. ³⁶ And [when he] saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were weary and dejected, like sheep that did not have a shepherd. ³⁷ Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest [is] plentiful, but the workers [are] few. ³⁸ Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest that he send out workers into his harvest."
