Matthew 9:36-38

36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted*,^[a] and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;

38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
