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<n id="1" /> because the harvest has come.&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

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

He<n id="1" /> said to them, &#8220;The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest<n id="2" /> to send out<n id="3" /> workers into his harvest.

Don&#8217;t you say,<n id="1" /> &#8216;There are four more months and then comes the harvest?&#8217; I tell you, look up<n id="2" /> and see that the fields are already white<n id="3" /> for harvest!

Then<n id="1" /> another angel came out of the temple, shouting in a loud voice to the one seated on the cloud, &#8220;Use<n id="2" /> your sickle and start to reap,<n id="3" /> because the time to reap has come, since the earth&#8217;s harvest is ripe!&#8221;
