This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Note here,

1. That God's church is an harvest field.

2. That the ministers of God are laborers in his harvest, under God the Lord of the harvest.

3. That to God alone it does belong to send forth laborers into his harvest, and none must thrust themselves in, until God sends them forth: Pray ye the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers.

4. That the number of faithful laborers is comparatively small and few: the scribes and Pharisees in the Jewish harvest field are many; yet, says Christ, The laborers are few.

5. That it is the church's duty to pray, and that earnestly and incessantly, to God the Lord of the harvest, to increase the number of faithful laborers; and to send forth more laborers into his harvest.
