Matthew 9:32-38 ▼

32 And as they are coming forth, behold, they brought to Him a man mute, a demoniac,

33 and the demon having been cast out, the mute spoke, and the multitude wondered, saying that “It was never so seen in Israel,”

34 but the Pharisees said, “By the ruler of the demons He casts out the demons.”

35 And Jesus was going up and down all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.

36 And having seen the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, that they were faint and cast aside, as sheep not having a shepherd;

37 then He says to His disciples, “The harvest indeed [is] abundant, but the workmen few;

38 therefore implore the Lord of the harvest that He may put forth workmen to His harvest.”
