Matthew 9:35-10:5a | Jesus Sees the Need

Jesus sees the crowds—and He sees more than a crowd.
In Matthew 9:35–10:5a, Jesus looks upon people who are harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd, and His response is compassion. The harvest is plentiful, the laborers are few, and Jesus tells His disciples to pray earnestly for workers. Then, as Matthew moves into chapter 10, Jesus calls the Twelve and gives them authority to go.
This transition also gives us another glimpse of a major theme running through Matthew: Jesus is greater than Moses. Moses needed others to share the work God had given him, but Jesus Himself gives His disciples authority and sends them into the harvest.
God sees the broken, hurting, confused, and lost. His response is not indifference. He has compassion—and He invites His people to participate in what He is doing.
Matthew 9:35–10:5a, verse by verse.
