Matthew 9:35-38
35And Jesus went around all the towns and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and every sickness. 36Seeing the crowds, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and cast down, like sheep that do not have a shepherd. 37Then he says to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few; 38so ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.”
1Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy-two others also, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place where he himself was about to come. 2And he was saying to them, “The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the workers are few; so ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.
