Matthew 9:32-38 ▼

32 And in their going out, behold, they brought to Him a mute man possessed by a demon.

33 And the demon having been cast out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds marveled, saying, “Never thus was it seen in Israel!”

34 But the Pharisees were saying, “By the prince of the demons He casts out the demons.”

35 And Jesus was going throughout all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness.

36 And having seen the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were wearied and cast away, as sheep not having a shepherd.

37 Then He says to His disciples, “The harvest indeed is much, but the workers are few.

38 Therefore implore the Lord of the harvest, that He might put forth workers into His harvest.”
