Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest - the great Lord and Proprietor of all. Compare John 15:1 - "I am the true Vine, and my Father is the Husbandman."

That he will send forth labourers into his harvest. The word [ ekbalee (G1544)] properly means 'thrust forth;' but this emphatic sense disappears in some places, as in Matthew 9:25, and John 10:4 - "When He putteth forth His own sheep." (See the note at Matthew 4:1.)
