Matthew 9:36-38

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

³⁶ When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.^{(A) 37} Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few;^{(B) 38} therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
