Matthew 9:35-38
Wycliffe Bible
35 And Jesus went about all the cities and castles, teaching in the synagogues of them, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every languor and every sickness [and healing all languishing, or ache, and all sickness].
36 And he saw the people, and had ruth on them [Forsooth Jesus, seeing companies, had ruth on them]; for they were travailed, and lying as sheep not having a shepherd.
37 Then he said to his disciples, Soothly there is much ripe corn, but few workmen.
38 Therefore pray ye the Lord of the ripe corn, that he send workmen into his ripe corn.

36 But when he saw the people, he had compassion on them, because they were worn and weak and scattered abroad, even as sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, The harvest is great, but the labourers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send forth labourers into his harvest.

Authorized (King James) Version
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 unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38 pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
