34 Mais les pharisiens dirent: C’est par le prince des démons qu’il chasse les démons.

35 Jésus parcourait toutes les villes et les villages, enseignant dans les synagogues, prêchant la bonne nouvelle du royaume, et guérissant toute maladie et toute infirmité.

36 Voyant la foule, il fut ému de compassion pour elle, parce qu’elle était languissante et abattue, comme des brebis qui n’ont point de berger.

37 Alors il dit à ses disciples: La moisson est grande, mais il y a peu d’ouvriers.

38 Priez donc le maître de la moisson d’envoyer des ouvriers dans sa moisson.
