John 4:27-38 - The Disciples And The Harvest
27 Upon this his disciples came, and were surpriz'd at his conversing with the woman: yet none of them said, what did you ask her? or, why do you talk with her?
28 the woman then left her water-pot, and went away into the city, and said to the people, come, 29 see a man who told me all that ever I have done: is not this the Christ? 30 so they went out of the city, and came to him.
31 In the mean while his disciples invited him, saying, pray master, eat.
32 but he answered them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of:
33 upon which the disciples said one to another, hath any man brought him any thing to eat?
34 Jesus said to them, my meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. 35 is it not a common saying, "t'other four months, and then comes harvest?" lift up your eyes now, I say, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. 36 he that reapeth, receiveth wages, by gathering fruit unto life eternal: that the sower, and the reaper, may both rejoice together. 37 upon this occasion, that saying is verified, "one soweth, and another reapeth." 38 I sent you to reap where you bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and you are entred into their labours.
