Matthew 9:36-38

EasyEnglish Bible

³⁶ When Jesus saw the crowds of people, he felt sorry for them. They had trouble in their minds. They had nobody to help them. Jesus thought, ‘These people are like sheep that have nobody to take care of them.’ ³⁷ Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Many people are ready to believe God's message. They are like crops in the fields at harvest time. But there are very few workers to bring in the crops. ³⁸ So pray to God to send out workers. The field and the crops belong to him.’^[a]
