VERSE (2) - Mt 9:37,38 Joh 4:35-38 1Co 3:6-9

SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:2

Y les decía: La mies a la verdad es mucha, mas los obreros pocos; por tanto, rogad al Seor de la mies que envíe obreros a su mies.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 10:2

Verse 2. That he would send forth] ekbalh. There seems to be an allusion here to the case of reapers, who, though the harvest was perfectly ripe, yet were in no hurry to cut it down. News of this is brought to the Lord of the harvest the farmer, and he is entreated to exert his authority, and hurry them out; and this he does because the harvest is spoiling for want of being reaped and gathered in. See the notes on Matt. ix. 37, 38.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 2. Therefore said he unto them , etc.] That is, the Lord Jesus, as the Ethiopic version expresses it; he said to the seventy disciples, what he had before said to the twelve apostles in ( Matthew 9:37,38) where are the same words as here: the harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few, pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he would send forth labourers into his harvest ; for though there was such a number of disciples called to the ministerial work, and sent out, there was still need of more; so great was the harvest of souls, or number of hearers, that the labourers were yet but few; and therefore the Lord of the harvest and whose all souls are, was to be prayed unto to send forth more laborious preachers; (See Gill on Matthew 9:37). (See Gill on Matthew 9:38).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-16 - Christ sent the seventy disciples, two and two, that they migh strengthen and encourage one another. The ministry of the gospel call men to receive Christ as a Prince and a Saviour; and he will surel come in the power of his Spirit to all places whither he sends his faithful servants. But the doom of those who receive the grace of God in vain, will be very fearful Those who despise the faithful minister of Christ, who think meanly of them, and look scornfully upon them will be reckoned as despisers of God and Christ.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

2. The harvest (qerismov). From qerov, summer (compare qeromai, to become warm). Harvest, that which is gathered in summer. Wyc., much ripe corn is, but few workmen.

Pray. See on ch. viii. 38.

Send forth (ekbalh). Lit., drive or thrust forth, implying the urgency of the mission. See on Mark i. 12.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

10:2 {Harvest} (qerismos). Late word for the older qeros, summer, harvest. The language in this verse is verbatim what we have in #Mt 9:37,38 to the Twelve. Why not? The need is the same and prayer is the answer in each case. Prayer for preachers is Christ's method for increasing the supply.
