John:4:27-38
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And upon this his disciples came .
And they marveled that he spoke with the woman ,
yet no man said ,
What seek thou ?
or ,
Why do thou speak with her ?
*
The woman therefore left her water pot ,
and departed into the city ,
and says to the men ,
*
Come ,
see a man who told me all ,
as many things as I did .
Is not this the Christ ?
*
They went out of the city ,
and came to him .
*
In the meanwhile the disciples asked him ,
saying ,
Rabbi ,
eat .
*
But he said to them ,
I have food to eat that ye know not .
*
The disciples therefore said to each other ,
Did any man bring him to eat ?
*
Jesus says to them ,
My food is that I do the will of him who sent me ,
and may finish his work .
*
Do ye not say ,
There are still four months and the harvest comes ?
Behold ,
I say to you ,
lift up your eyes and see the fields ,
that they are already white for harvest .
*
And he who reaps receives a wage and gathers fruit for eternal life ,
so that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together .
*
For in this the saying is true ,
One is who sows ,
and another who reaps .
*
I sent you to reap what ye have not labored .
Others have labored ,
and ye have entered into their labor .
