Matthew 9:38
Compare all
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.”

Matthew 9:38

Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest—the great Lord and Proprietor of all. Compare John 15:1, "I am the true vine, and My Father is the husbandman."

that he will send forth labourers into his harvest—The word properly means "thrust forth"; but this emphatic sense disappears in some places, as in Matthew 9:25, and John 10:4 —"When He putteth forth His own sheep." (See on Matthew 4:1).
