John 4:28-42

28The woman then left her waterpot, went her way into the city, and said to the men,

29“Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”

30Then they went out of the city and came to Him.

31In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”

32But He said to them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.”

33Therefore the disciples said to one another, “Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?”

34Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.

35Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!

36And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

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

38I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”

39And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all that I ever did.”

40So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they urged Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.

41And many more believed because of His own word.

42Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
