(Matthew 9:35-38)
35Jesus went through all the towns and villages,
teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the
kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36When
he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were
harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37Then
he said to his disciples, “The harvest is
plentiful but the workers are few. 38Ask the Lord of
the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest
field.”
