Matthew 9:35-38

New American Standard Bible

³⁵ Jesus was going through all the cities and villages, ^(A)teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness.

^36 (B)Seeing the crowds, He felt compassion for them, ^(C)because they were ^[a]distressed and downcast, like sheep ^[b]without a shepherd. ³⁷ Then He *said to His disciples, “^(D)The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. ³⁸ Therefore, plead with the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”
