John 4:32-38

32Jesus told them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”

33The disciples asked each other, “Did someone bring him something to eat?”

34Jesus told them, “My food is to do what the one who sent me wants me to do and to finish the work he has given me.

35“Don’t you say, ‘In four more months the harvest will be here’? I’m telling you to look and see that the fields are ready to be harvested.

36The person who harvests the crop is already getting paid. He is gathering grain for eternal life. So the person who plants the grain and the person who harvests it are happy together.

37In this respect the saying is true: ‘One person plants, and another person harvests.’

38I have sent you to harvest a crop you have not worked for. Other people have done the hard work, and you have followed them in their work.”
