24 Does he who plows for sowing plow continually?
Does he continually open and harrow his ground?
25 ^aWhen he has leveled its surface,
does he not scatter dill, sow cumin,
and put in wheat in rows
and barley in its proper place,
and emmer ^{▼▼A type of wheat} as the border?
26 ^cFor he is rightly instructed;
his God teaches him.

Matthew 9:37-38

37 ^dThen he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore ^epray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to ^fsend out laborers into his harvest.”

Matthew 20:1

Laborers in the Vineyard

1 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.

Matthew 21:33-41

The Parable of the Tenants

33 ^g“Hear another parable. There was a master of a house who planted ^ha vineyard ⁱand put a fence around it and dug a winepress in it and built a tower and ^jleased it to tenants, and ^kwent into another country. 34 When the season for fruit drew near, he sent his servants ^{▼▼Greek bondservants; also verses 35, 36} to the tenants ^mto get his fruit. 35 ⁿAnd the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and ^ostoned another. 36 ^pAgain he sent other servants, more than the first. And they did the same to them. 37 Finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 38 But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ^q‘This is the heir. Come, ^rlet us kill him and have his inheritance.’ 39 And they took him and ^sthrew him out of the vineyard and killed him. 40 ^tWhen therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?” 41 They said to him, ^u“He will put those wretches to a miserable death and ^vlet out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons.”

Luke 10:2

2 ^wAnd he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. ^xTherefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.

John 4:35-38

35 Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that ^ythe fields are white for harvest. 36 Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that ^zsower and ^aareaper ^abmay rejoice together. 37 For here the saying holds true, ^ac‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap ^adthat for which you did not labor. Others have labored, ^aeand you have entered into their labor.”
