*
Then they went out of the city ,
and came unto him .
*
In the mean while his disciples prayed him ,
saying ,
Master ,
eat .
*
But he said unto them ,
I have meat to eat that ye know not of .
*
Therefore said the disciples one to another ,
Hath any man brought him ought to eat ?
*
Jesus saith unto them ,
My meat is to do the will of him that sent me ,
and to finish his work .
*
Say not ye ,
There are yet four months ,
and then cometh harvest ?
behold ,
I say unto you ,
Lift up your eyes ,
and look on the fields ;
for they are white already to harvest .
*
And he that reapeth receiveth wages ,
and gathereth fruit unto life eternal :
that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together .
*
And herein is that saying true ,
One soweth ,
and another reapeth .
*
I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour :
other men laboured ,
and ye are entered into their labours .
*
And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman ,
which testified ,
He told me all that ever I did .
*
So when the Samaritans were come unto him ,
they besought him that he would tarry with them :
and he abode there two days .
*
And many more believed because of his own word ;
*
And said unto the woman ,
Now we believe ,
not because of thy saying :
for we have heard him ourselves ,
and know that this is indeed the Christ ,
the Saviour of the world .
