John 4:27–38

²⁷Just then ⁱhis disciples came back. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you seek?” or, “Why are you talking with her?” ²⁸So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people, ²⁹“Come, see a man ^jwho told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?” ³⁰They went out of the town and were coming to him.

³¹Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, saying, ^k“Rabbi, eat.” ³²But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.” ³³So the disciples said to one another, ^l“Has anyone brought him something to eat?” ³⁴Jesus said to them, ^m“My food is ⁿto do the will of him who sent me and ^oto accomplish his work. ³⁵Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that ^pthe fields are white for harvest. ³⁶Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that ^qsower and ^rreaper ^smay rejoice together. ³⁷For here the saying holds true, ^t‘One sows and another reaps.’ ³⁸I sent you to reap ^uthat for which you did not labor. Others have labored, ^vand you have entered into their labor.”
