Matthew 9:30-38

30 Then the men were able to see. But Jesus warned them strongly, saying, "Don't tell anyone about this."
31 But the blind men left and spread the news about Jesus all around that area.
32 When the two men were leaving, some people brought another man to Jesus. This man could not talk because he had a demon in him.
33 After Jesus forced the demon to leave the man, he was able to speak. The crowd was amazed and said, "We have never seen anything like this in Israel."
34 But the Pharisees said, "The prince of demons is the one that gives him power to force demons out."
35 Jesus traveled through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Good News about the kingdom, and healing all kinds of diseases and sicknesses.
36 When he saw the crowds, he felt sorry for them because they were hurting and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
37 Jesus said to his followers, "There are many people to harvest but only a few workers to help harvest them.
38 Pray to the Lord, who owns the harvest, that he will send more workers to gather his harvest."
