John 4:28-42

28SoG3767 the womanG1135 leftG863 her waterpotG5201 and wentG565 into the cityG4172, and saidG3004 to the peopleG444, 29“ComeG1205, seeG3708 a ManG444 1whoG3739 toldG3004 me allG3956 the thingsG3956 that I have doneG4160; 2thisG3778 is not the 3ChristG5547, is He?” 30They leftG1831 the cityG4172 and were comingG2064 to Him.

31MeanwhileG1722G3342 the disciplesG3101 were urgingG2065 Him, sayingG3004, “4RabbiG4461, eatG2068 something.” 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 stillG2089 fourG5072 monthsG5072, and then comesG2064 the harvestG2326’? BeholdG2400, I tellG3004 you, raiseG1869 your eyesG3788 and observeG2300 the fieldsG5561, that they are whiteG3022 8for harvestG2326. 36AlreadyG2235 the one who reapsG2325 is receivingG2983 9wagesG3408 and is gatheringG4863 10fruitG2590 for 11eternalG166 lifeG2222, soG2443 thatG2443 the one who sowsG4687 and the one 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 13comeG1525 intoG1525 their laborG2873.”

39NowG1161 from 14that cityG4172 manyG4183 of the SamaritansG4541 believedG4100 in Him becauseG1223 of the wordG3056 of the womanG1135 who testifiedG3140, “15He toldG3004 me allG3956 the thingsG3956 that I have doneG4160.” 40SoG3767 whenG5613 the SamaritansG4541 cameG2064 to 16Jesus, 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 whatG2981 you saidG2981 that we believeG4100, for we have heardG191 for ourselvesG846 and knowG3609 that thisG3778 OneG3778 trulyG230 is 17the SaviorG4990 of the worldG2889.”
