John 4:28-42
28SoG3767 the womanG1135 leftG863 her waterpotG5201, and wentG565 into the cityG4172 and saidG3004 to the menG444, 29“ComeG1205, seeG3708 a manG444 1whoG3739 toldG3004 me allG3956 the thingsG3956 that I have doneG4160; 2thisG3778 is not 3the ChristG5547, is it?” 30They wentG1831 out of the cityG4172, and were comingG2064 to Him.
31MeanwhileG3342 the disciplesG3101 were urgingG2065 Him, sayingG3004, “4RabbiG4461, eatG2068.” 32But He saidG3004 to them, “I haveG2192 foodG1035 to eatG2068 that you do not knowG3609 aboutG3609.” 33SoG3767 the 5disciplesG3101 were sayingG3004 to oneG240 anotherG240, “NoG3361 oneG5100 broughtG5342 Him anything to eatG2068, did he?” 34JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “My foodG1033 is to 6doG4160 the willG2307 of Him who sentG3992 Me and to 7accomplishG5048 His workG2041. 35Do you not sayG3004, ‘There are yetG2089 fourG5072 monthsG5072, and then comesG2064 the harvestG2326’? BeholdG2400, I sayG3004 to you, liftG1869 up your eyesG3788 and lookG2300 on the fieldsG5561, that they are whiteG3022 8for harvestG2326. 36AlreadyG2235 he who reapsG2325 is receivingG2983 9wagesG3408 and is gatheringG4863 10fruitG2590 for 11lifeG2222 eternalG166; soG2443 that he who sowsG4687 and he who reapsG2325 may rejoiceG5463 togetherG3674. 37For in thisG3778 case the sayingG3056 is trueG228, ‘12OneG243 sowsG4687 and anotherG243 reapsG2325.’ 38I sentG649 you to reapG2325 that for whichG3739 you have not laboredG2872; othersG243 have laboredG2872 and you have enteredG1525 into their laborG2873.”
39From 13that cityG4172 manyG4183 of the SamaritansG4541 believedG4100 in Him becauseG1223 of the wordG3056 of the womanG1135 who testifiedG3140, “14He toldG3004 me allG3956 the thingsG3956 that I have doneG4160.” 40SoG3767 whenG5613 the SamaritansG4541 cameG2064 to Jesus, they were askingG2065 Him to stayG3306 with them; and He stayedG3306 thereG1563 twoG1417 daysG2250. 41ManyG4183 moreG4183 believedG4100 becauseG1223 of His wordG3056; 42and they were sayingG3004 to the womanG1135, “It is noG3765 longerG3765 becauseG1223 of what you saidG2981 that we believeG4100, for we have heardG191 for ourselvesG846 and knowG3609 that thisG3778 OneG3778 is indeedG230 15the SaviorG4990 of the worldG2889.”
