John:4:27-38
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The woman left her water-pot and went back to the town .
*
She said to the people ,
Come ,
I will show you a man who has told me everything I have done .
Can this be the Christ ?
*
The people left the town and went to him .
*
While they were on the way coming to Jesus ,
the disciples asked him ,
Teacher ,
will you please eat .
*
Jesus said to them ,
I have food that you do not know about .
*
So the disciples asked one another ,
Has anyone brought him food to eat ?
*
Jesus said to them ,
My food is to obey the one who sent me and to finish his work .
*
Do you not say , "
In four months it will be harvest time "?
Listen ,
I say .
Look up and see the fields .
The harvest is ready to cut now .
*
The one who gathers the harvest receives a reward for it .
He gathers a harvest that will live for ever .
Then the one who sows and the one who gathers will both be happy .
*
This saying is true here : "
One sows and another gathers ."
*
I sent you to gather what you did not help to plant .
Other people have worked hard and you have been helped through their work .
*
Many of the people of the town believed in Jesus because of what the woman told them .
She said ,
He told me everything I have done .
