In Matthew 9 we read, "When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." Matthew 9:36 - 38
When Jesus saw the crowd He didn't tell His disciples to go and tell them about Him but rather He told them to pray that the Lord of the harvest would send workers into the field. Why not just tell them to go as we see Him doing in Matthew 10. Before the disciples could go they need to spend time in prayer so they could see the need as Jesus saw it.
