Matthew 9:36
Douay-Rheims
And seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them: because they were distressed, and lying like sheep that have no shepherd.
John Chrysostom
He shews us that it is a great gift that one should have the power of rightly preaching, in that He tells them that they ought to pray for it. Also we are here reminded of the words of John concerning the threshing-floor, and the fan, the chaff, and the wheat.
