Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest ¹  to send out ²  workers into his harvest.”

He ¹  said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest ²  to send out ³  workers into his harvest.

Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.

And when the grain is ripe, he sends in the sickle ¹  because the harvest has come.” ² 

Then ¹  he prayed again, and the sky gave rain and the land sprouted with a harvest.

Let both grow together until the harvest. At ¹  harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned, but then ²  gather ³  the wheat into my barn.”’”

Don’t you say, ¹  ‘There are four more months and then comes the harvest?’ I tell you, look up ²  and see that the fields are already white ³  for harvest!

When the harvest time was near, he sent his slaves ¹  to the tenants to collect his portion of the crop. ² 

At harvest time he sent a slave ¹  to the tenants to collect from them ²  his portion of the crop. ³ 

and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.

But his master answered, ¹  ‘Evil and lazy slave! So you knew that I harvest where I didn’t sow and gather where I didn’t scatter?

When harvest time came, he sent a slave ¹  to the tenants so that they would give ²  him his portion of the crop. ³  However, the tenants beat his slave ⁴  and sent him away empty-handed.

Or is he not surely speaking for our benefit? It was written for us, because the one plowing and threshing ought to work in hope of enjoying the harvest.

Now God ¹  who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will provide and multiply your supply of seed and will cause the harvest of your righteousness to grow.

Then ¹  another angel came out of the temple, shouting in a loud voice to the one seated on the cloud, “Use ²  your sickle and start to reap, ³  because the time to reap has come, since the earth’s harvest is ripe!”
