[9:35] And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction.
[9:36] When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
[9:37] Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few;
[9:38] therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
