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

35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness, and every disease among the people. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then saith he to his disciples, The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest.
