³⁵Jesus went to all the towns and villages. He taught in the synagogues and spread the Good News of the kingdom. He also cured every disease and sickness.

³⁶When he saw the crowds, he felt sorry for them. They were troubled and helpless like sheep without a shepherd. ³⁷Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is large, but the workers are few. ³⁸So ask the Lord who gives this harvest to send workers to harvest his crops.”
