Who were those laborers? Followers of Jesus and Catholics that spread the Good News of Jesus.
So how is that out of context? There are other passages where Jesus delegated to Peter and the Apostles.
Matthew 28:19
18* g Then Jesus approached and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19h Go, therefore,* and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, 20i teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.* And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age
If you understand the Bible, you would accept that Jesus asked His Church (the Body of Christ) to build His Church worldwide and accept the teachings of the Catholic Church.
[10:13–16] The call to repentance that is a part of the proclamation of the kingdom brings with it a severe judgment for those who hear it and reject it
LOL...I love the way you use semantics...
Unless you are using the term "Catholics" in the sense of a believer or follower of Jesus rather than an adherents to the Roman Catholic Church,(which at that time did not exist), I assume you are since you capitalized the word...
First century believers called themselves "The Way" or "Christian” not Catholics...
If you understand the Bible, you would accept that Jesus asked His Church (the Body of Christ) to build His Church worldwide and accept the teachings of the Catholic Church.
There was no Roman Catholic Church in Jesus time...just churches (homes) were believers meet..
Just for grins...where in the Bible Catholic or any version where the Lord commanded me to accept the Roman Catholic Church teachings...
I'd love to see that...
