Matthew
Chapters 9:35-38
Revised Version 1885
35And Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness.
36But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were distressed and scattered, as sheep not having a shepherd.
37Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few.
38Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest.
