Matthew 9:35-38

New King James Version

The Compassion of Jesus^(A)

³⁵ Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, ^(B)teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease ^[a]among the people. ^36 (C)But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were ^[b]weary and scattered, ^(D)like sheep having no shepherd. ³⁷ Then He said to His disciples, ^(E)“The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. ^38 (F)Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”
