Matthew 9:36

Matthew 9:36

34 But the Pharisees said, ^a“He casts out demons by the ruler of the demons.”

The Compassion of Jesus

35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, ^ateaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease¹ among the people.

36 ^aBut when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were¹ weary and scattered, ^blike sheep having no shepherd.

37 Then He said to His disciples, ^a“The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

38 ^aTherefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”

John Wesley's Notes

<< Matthew 9:35

Matthew 9:37 >>

Because they were faint - In soul rather than in body. As sheep having no shepherd - And yet they had many teachers; they had scribes in every city. But they had none who cared for their souls, and none that were able, if they had been willing, to have wrought any deliverance. They had no pastors after God's own heart.
