John 4:28-42

28So the woman left her water jar and went back to the town. She tells the people,

29“Come see a man who told me everything I ever did! He couldn’t be the Messiah, could He?”

30The people left the town and began coming to Him.

31Meanwhile, the disciples were pressing Him, “Rabbi, eat!”

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

33So the disciples were saying to each other, “No one brought Him food to eat, did they?”

34Yeshua tells them, “My food is to do the will of the One who sent Me and to accomplish His work.

35Don’t you say, ‘Four more months, and then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields! They are white and ready for harvest.

36“The reaper receives a reward and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that the sower and reaper may rejoice together.

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

38I sent you to reap what you haven’t worked for. Others have worked hard, and you have joined in their work.”

39Many of the Samaritans from that town put their trust in Him because of the word of the woman testifying, “He told me everything I ever did!”

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

41and many more believed because of His word.

42They kept telling the woman, “It’s no longer because of your words that we believe. We’ve heard for ourselves! Now we know that this really is the Savior of the world!”
