In parallel withLuke 10:2

The same command on another mission: the harvest is plentiful, the laborers few, so pray to the Lord of the harvest.

“Then he said to them, “The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest.”

In parallel withJohn 4:35

Jesus already saw what prayer sends: the fields are white for harvest already.

“Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest?’ Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.”
