John 4:27-38 - The Disciples And The Harvest
27 Just then His disciples came up, and they were surprised to find Him talking with a woman, yet not one of them asked Him, "What do you want?" or "Why are you talking with her?"
28 The woman then left her pitcher and went back to town and said to the people, 29 "Come, see a man who has told me everything I ever did. He is not the Christ, is He?" 30 So the people left town and rushed out to see Him.
31 Meanwhile the disciples were asking Him, and saying, "Teacher, eat something."
32 But He said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know."
33 So the disciples began to say to one another, "Nobody has brought Him anything to eat, has he?"
34 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent me, and to finish His work. 35 Are you not saying, 'In four months more the harvest comes'? Look! I tell you, lift up your eyes and scan the fields, for they are already white for harvesting. 36 Now the reaper is already getting pay, for he is gathering a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together. 37 For in this matter the adage is true, 'One sows, another reaps.' 38 I have sent you to reap a harvest which you have not labored to make. Other men have labored, but you have reaped the results of their labors."
