Matt. 9:38 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Matt. 9:37      Matt. 10:1

Matthew 9:38

Therefore, ask the Lord of the harvest to send (would drive) out workers into his harvest."
[The Greek verb deomai means to plead (for a great personal need), and this is the only time Matthew uses this strong expression for prayer; see also Luke 5:12; Acts 4:31; 8:24. The verb deo means "to bind/stick together." Here there is a suggestion that the one who prays connects himself with the answer to his prayer in order to see it come true. Along with the mission, Jesus also gives power and authority to bring in the harvest, see the next verse Matt. 10:1. The Greek word for sending out, ekballo, literally means "to drive/throw out." Even those who are already called need renewed zeal and eagerness to go out into the fields.]
