John 4:28-42

28Then the woman left her water jar, went off into the town and said to the people,

29“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Surely he can’t be the Messiah, can he?”

30So they left the town and began coming to him.

31Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, “Rabbi, eat something.”

32But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”

33So the disciples began to say to one another, “No one brought him anything to eat, did they?”

34Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of the one who sent me and to complete his work.

35Don’t you say, ‘There are four more months and then comes the harvest?’ I tell you, look up and see that the fields are already white for harvest!

36The one who reaps receives pay and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that the one who sows and the one who reaps can rejoice together.

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

38I sent you to reap what you did not work for; others have labored and you have entered into their labor.”

39Now many Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the report of the woman who testified, “He told me everything I ever did.”

40So when the Samaritans came to him, they began asking him to stay with them. He stayed there two days,

41and because of his word many more believed.

42They said to the woman, “No longer do we believe because of your words, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this one really is the Savior of the world.”
