John 4:28-42

28ThenG3767 theG3588 womanG1135 leftG863 herG846 water jarG5201, went backG565 intoG1519 theG3588 townG4172, andG2532 said toG3004 theG3588 peopleG444, 29“ComeG1205, seeG3708 a manG444 whoG3739 toldG2036 meG1473 everythingG3956 I ever didG3745G4160. CouldG3385 thisG3778 beG1510 theG3588 ChristG5547?” 30So they leftG1831G1537 theG3588 townG4172 andG2532 made their wayG2064 towardG4314 Jesus.

31MeanwhileG1722G3588G3342 theG3588 disciplesG3101 urgedG2065 HimG846, “RabbiG4461, eatG5315 something.”

32ButG1161 He toldG2036 themG846, “IG1473 haveG2192 foodG1035 to eatG5315 thatG3739 youG4771 knowG1492 nothingG3756 about.”

33SoG3767 theG3588 disciplesG3101 askedG2036 one anotherG240, “Could someoneG5100 have broughtG5342 HimG846 foodG5315?”

JesusG2424 explainedG3004G846, “MyG1699 foodG1033 isG1510 toG2443 doG4160 theG3588 willG2307 of Him whoG3588 sentG3992 MeG1473 andG2532 to finishG5048 HisG846 workG2041. 35Do youG4771 notG3756 sayG3004, ‘There areG1510 stillG2089 four monthsG5072 until theG3588 harvestG2326’? I tellG3004 youG4771, lift upG1869 yourG4771 eyesG3788 andG2532 look atG2300 theG3588 fieldsG5561, forG3754 they areG1510 ripeG2235G30221 forG4314 harvestG2326.

36Already theG3588 reaperG2325 drawsG2983 his wagesG3408 andG2532 gathersG4863 a cropG2590 forG1519 eternalG166 lifeG2222, so thatG2443 theG3588 sowerG4687 andG2532 theG3588 reaperG2325 may rejoiceG5463 togetherG3674. 37ForG1063 inG1722 this caseG3778 theG3588 sayingG3056 ‘OneG243 sowsG4687 andG2532 anotherG243 reapsG2325’ isG1510 trueG228. 38IG1473 sentG649 youG4771 to reapG2325 whatG3739 youG4771 have not worked forG3756G2872; othersG243 have done the hard workG2872, andG2532 now youG4771 have taken upG1525G1519 theirG846 laborG2873.”

ManyG4183 of theG3588 SamaritansG4541 fromG1537 thatG1565 townG4172 believedG4100 inG1519 Jesus because ofG1223 theG3588 woman’sG3588G1135 testimonyG3140, “He toldG2036 meG1473 everythingG3956 I ever didG3739G4160.” 40SoG3767 whenG5613 theG3588 SamaritansG4541 cameG2064 toG4314 HimG846, they askedG2065 HimG846 to stayG3306 withG3844 themG846, andG2532 He stayedG3306G1563 twoG1417 daysG2250.

41AndG2532 manyG4183 moreG4119 believedG4100 because ofG1223 HisG846 messageG3056. 42They saidG2036 to theG3588 womanG1135, “We now believeG4100 not onlyG3765 because ofG1223 yourG4674 wordsG2981; we have heardG191 for ourselvesG846, andG2532 we knowG1492 thatG3754 thisG3778 man trulyG230 isG1510 theG3588 SaviorG4990 of theG3588 worldG2889.”
