Matthew 9:36-38

New Century Version

³⁶ When he saw the crowds, he felt sorry for them because they were hurting and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. ³⁷ Jesus said to his followers, “There are many people to harvest but only a few workers to help harvest them. ³⁸ Pray to the Lord, who owns the harvest, that he will send more workers to gather his harvest.”^[a]
