Matthew 9:35-38
21st Century 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 for them, because they were faint and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
37 Then said He unto His disciples, “The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few.
38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth laborers into His harvest.”
