Matthew 9:36-38

Wycliffe Bible

³⁶ And he saw the people, and had ruth on them [Forsooth Jesus, seeing companies, had ruth on them]; for they were travailed, and lying as sheep not having a shepherd.

³⁷ Then he said to his disciples, Soothly there is much ripe corn, but few workmen.

³⁸ Therefore pray ye the Lord of the ripe corn, that he send workmen into his ripe corn.
