* Just then his disciples came up , and were astonished that he was talking with a woman ; yet not one of them asked him , "What do you want ?" or "Why are you talking with her ?" * Then the woman left her water-jar , and went away into the city and began saying to the people . * "Come ! see a man who has told me everything that I ever did . He cant be the Christ , can he ?" * They left the city and set out to go to him . * Meanwhile the disciples kept urging him . * "Rabbi ," they said , "eat something ." But he answered , "I have food to eat of which you know nothing ." * So the disciples began to say to one another , "Can any one have brought him something to eat ?" * Jesus said to them . "My food is to do the will of Him who sent me , and to accomplish his work . * Do you not say , It wants yet four months , and then comes the harvest ?Look , I tell you ! Lift up your eyes and behold the fields , that they are already white for harvest . * The reaper is already receiving wages and gathering a crop for eternal life , so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together . * For in this respect the saying is true , One sows , another reaps . * I sent you to reap a crop on which you have not toiled . Others have toiled , and you have reaped the benefit of their toil ."
