John 4:28-42

28So the woman left her waterpot and went into the city, and said to the people, 29“Come, see a Man 1who told me all the things that I have done; 2this is not the 3Christ, is He?” 30They left the city and were coming to Him.

31Meanwhile the disciples were urging Him, saying, “4Rabbi, eat something.” 32But He said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.” 33So the 5disciples were saying to one another, “No one brought Him anything to eat, did he?” 34Jesus said to them, “My food is to 6do the will of Him who sent Me, and to 7accomplish His work. 35Do you not say, ‘There are still four months, and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I tell you, raise your eyes and observe the fields, that they are white 8for harvest. 36Already the one who reaps is receiving 9wages and is gathering 10fruit for 11eternal life, so that the one who sows and the one who reaps may rejoice together. 37For in this case the saying is true: ‘12One sows and another reaps.’ 38I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have 13come into their labor.”

39Now from 14that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, “15He told me all the things that I have done.” 40So when the Samaritans came to 16Jesus, they were asking Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. 41Many more believed because of His word; 42and they were saying to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this One truly is 17the Savior of the world.”
