35 And Jesus traveled throughout all of the cities and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdom, and healing every illness and every infirmity.
36 Then, seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them, because they were distressed and were reclining, like sheep without a shepherd.
37 Then he said to his disciples: "The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers are few.
38 Therefore, petition the Lord of the harvest, so that he may sent out laborers to his harvest."
