John 4:32-38

32But he said, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”

33The disciples said to one another, “Could someone have brought him something to eat?”

34“My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work,” Jesus told them.

35“Don’t you say, ‘There are still four more months, and then comes the harvest’? Listen to what I’m telling you: Open your eyes and look at the fields, because they are ready for harvest.

36The reaper is already receiving pay and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that the sower and reaper can rejoice together.

37For in this case the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’

38I sent you to reap what you didn’t labor for; others have labored, and you have benefited from their labor.”
