Matthew 9:36-38 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

36. Then, seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them, because they were distressed and were reclining, like sheep without a shepherd.

37. Then he said to his disciples: "The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers are few.

38. Therefore, petition the Lord of the harvest, so that he may sent out laborers to his harvest."
