(KJV) Matthew 9:38

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

1. This verse expresses one of God’s most important spiritual principles about our actions and our part in His plans. Our part in the work is necessary because before God takes action, He usually inspires His people to pray. Only after they have prayed does God respond and finish what He desires to happen. What it means is that God has limited Himself, choosing to accomplish His plans through the prayers of His faithful people. 
2. It is clear from the context of the passage (Matthew 9:35-10:1, 8) that the kind of workers Jesus desires in His kingdom are those who are willing and spiritually prepared to (a) spread His message and teach others what it means to follow Jesus and live according to His purposes (Matthew 9:35), (b) heal the sick (Matthew 9:35; 10:1,8). (c)  drive out evil spirits (Matthew 10:1, 8) These acts are possible through relying on God and the power of His Holy Spirit.

(KJV) Matthew 9:37

Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;

Jesus challenges His followers to always remember that those who are spiritually lost – who do not know and follow God – have a priceless, eternal soul and will spend eternity in heaven or in hell. We must reach them with the love and message of Christ while there is still time. Many of them are spiritually ready to receive the message. They can be saved only if someone presents to them the good news of forgiveness and new life through Jesus Christ (Matthew 10:28).

(KJV) Matthew 9:17

Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

In ancient times, goatskins were used to hold wine. This verse has been interpreted in various ways by Biblical commentators. Two views are:

1. The “new wine” started as fresh grape juice. As it began to ferment (as the sugars turned to alcohol), the wine expanded in the process and the new wineskins would stretch and not break. But used wineskins, already stretched, would break. The “new wine” represented the message of Jesus, which brought a newness that cannot be held within old forms. Questions about this issue and interpretation may arise from the fact that the unstable and vigorous process of fermentation was sometimes enough to burst even the newest and strongest of tightly sealed wineskins (Job 32:19). 

A second interpretation of this parable (a story that teaches a moral lesson or teaches a spiritual principle) focuses on the importance of keeping and maintaining both the new wine and the new wineskins. (a) The “new wine” was fresh, unfermented (non-intoxicating) grape juice, representing the original and true message of salvation through Jesus Christ – a message that spreads in the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus’ primary concern was that the original gospel (“good news”) and life-transforming power of the Spirit would be kept from change, corruption or loss. This interpretation would be consistent with Christ’s concern that the gospel message (new wine) not be altered by the “yeast” (teachings) of the Pharisees and teachers of the law. Yeast causes the fermenting process, just as the Pharisees’ teaching would corrupt God’s message by denying the spirit and principles behind God’s laws and commands (Matthew 16:6, 12; Exodus 12:19; 1 Corinthians 5:7).          (b) In ancient times, in order to keep the sweetness of the juice for a longer period of time, people would strain or boil the juice, bottle it and place it in a cool area. New wineskins were required because they would be free from yeast cells. If placed in old wineskins, new wine would more easily begin to ferment because of the yeast that remained in the skins from the previous wine. The fermentation process could then cause the loss of both the new wine and the wineskins (which would burst from pressure). Columella, a great Roman authority on agriculture in the first century A.D., wrote that in order to keep new wine “always sweet” it must be put into a new sealed container.

Christ addresses preserving the new wine – His message of hope and spiritual salvation – so it would not be compromised, corrupted or lost.

(KJV) Matthew 9:15

And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.

It is clear that Jesus expected His followers to fast (go without food periodically in order to give greater time and attention to spiritual matters and prayer) after He was gone. We are now living in the time of the “bridegroom’s” absence (the period between His ascension into heaven and His return). The church (Christ’s “bride,” Revelation 19:7; 22:17) awaits and looks forward to the Lord’s return (Matthew 25:6; John 14:3). For this reason, fasting is also

1. A sign of a Christion’s longing to be united with Christ at His return,
2. A means of preparing for Christ’s coming,
3. A way of mourning Christ’s absence and

A sign of sorrow for the sin and spiritual decay of the world (Matthew 6:16).

(KJV) Matthew 9:11

And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

Matthew 9:11-13 reveals a principle that should guide us in our relationships with those who do not know and follow Christ. Our primary interaction should not be for pleasure, entertainment or close friendship, but for the sake of doing good, being an example and showing the way of salvation – what it means to have a personal relationship with God (Matthew 9:12; Psalms 1:1). At no time should a follower of Christ date or marry someone who is not a committed Christian (1 Corinthians 7:39).

(KJV) Matthew 8:34

And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.

The people of the Gadarenes were probably more concerned about the inconvenience of Jesus’ actions and the business losses of those who owned the pigs than they were about the spiritual misery of those who had been demon-possessed. They may have also been threatened by and fearful of the supernatural activity that surrounded Jesus’ ministry (Mark 5:2-17).

(KJV) Matthew 8:22

 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

Christ’s saying means, “Let the spiritually dead bury the physically dead.” The disciple of Matthew 8:21 probably wanted to wait until his elderly father dies, which could have been years away. Yet Jesus knew that His time on earth was short, and His ministry demanded full attention and commitment. This encounter is an example of the extreme demands and sacrifices required of those who follow Christ.

(KJV) Matthew 8:10

When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

The centurion’s faith was more impressive than anything that Jesus had seen among the Jews because it combined a loving concern for another person with complete trust in Christ’s authority and power. This story, along with Christ’s application to the unbelieving Jews (Matthew 8:11-12), warns us that we may be held back from what God is doing by holding on to useless traditions or by failing to accept the authority of Christ and the power of His kingdom.

(KJV) Matthew 8:4

And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

Jesus may have given this command for several reasons:

1. He did not want people to focus solely on His miracles.
2. He did not want the public attention surrounding His miracles to replace the more important message that He was teaching. 
3. He did not want to raise additional opposition to His ministry (which might lead to His early death) before He had completed His mission.

He did not do miracles simply for public recognition, but rather out of compassion for individuals who were suffering (Matthew 9:30; 12:16; Mark 1:44; 5:43; 7:36; Luke 8:56).

(KJV) Matthew 8:3

And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

This act showed great compassion because lepers were considered both ceremonially and physically unclean. Leprosy could describe any number of diseases affecting the skin. These diseases often started as nerve problems that caused a person to lose all feeling in the body’s extremities (hands, legs, feet, etc.). This condition often led to physical injury and the loss or dysfunction of the body part. Because such diseases were greatly misunderstood and often considered contagious, those who suffered from the condition often lived in colonies isolated from the rest of society. Yet, without hesitation, Jesus responded to the man’s faith by touching him and healing his disease. He then told the man to follow the regulations outlined in the law (Matthew 8:4) so he could join society again.
