John 4:27–38

²⁷And at this point His ^adisciples came, and they were marveling that He was speaking with a woman, yet no one said, “What do You seek?” or, “Why are You speaking with her?”

²⁸So the woman left her water jar, and went into the city and ^*said to the men,

²⁹“Come, see a man ^awho told me all the things that I have done; ^bis this not the ¹Christ?”

³⁰They went out of the city, and were coming to Him.

³¹Meanwhile the disciples were urging Him, saying, “^aRabbi, eat.”

³²But He said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.”

³³So the ^adisciples were saying to one another, “Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?”

³⁴Jesus ^*said to them, “My food is to ^ado the will of Him who sent Me and to ^bfinish His work.

³⁵“Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white ^afor harvest.

³⁶“Even now he who reaps is receiving ^awages and is gathering ^bfruit for ^clife eternal; so that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

³⁷“For in this case the saying is true, ‘^aOne sows and another reaps.’

³⁸“I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored and you have entered into their labor.”
