John:4:27-38
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And at this point His disciples came ,
and they marveled that He talked with a woman ;
yet no one said , "
What do You seek ?"
or , "
Why are You talking with her ?"
*
The woman then left her waterpot ,
went her way into the city ,
and said to the men ,
* "
Come ,
see a Man who told me all things that I ever did .
Could this be the Christ ?"
*
Then they went out of the city and came to Him .
*
In the meantime His disciples urged Him ,
saying , "
Rabbi ,
eat ."
*
But He said to them , "
I have food to eat of which you do not know ."
*
Therefore the disciples said to one another , "
Has anyone brought Him anything to eat ?"
*
Jesus said to them , "
My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me ,
and to finish His work .
*
Do 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 !
*
And he who reaps receives wages ,
and gathers fruit for eternal life ,
that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together .
*
For in this the saying is true : "
One sows and another reaps .'
*
I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored ;
others have labored ,
and you have entered into their labors ."
