At that point the disciples came back ,
and they were surprised to see him talking to a woman ;
but not one of them said to him ,
What is your purpose ?
or ,
Why are you talking to her ?
bbe @
John:4:28 @
Then the woman put down her water-pot and went into the town ,
and said to the people ,
bbe @
John:4:29 @
Come and see a man who has been talking to me of everything I ever did !
Is it possible that this is the Christ ?
bbe @
John:4:30 @
So they went out of the town and came to him .
bbe @
John:4:31 @
While this was taking place ,
the disciples were saying to Jesus ,
Master ,
take some food .
bbe @
John:4:32 @
But he said to them ,
I have food of which you have no knowledge .
bbe @
John:4:33 @
So the disciples said one to another ,
Did anyone give him food ?
bbe @
John:4:34 @
Jesus said ,
My food is to do the pleasure of him who sent me and to make his work complete .
bbe @
John:4:35 @
You would say ,
Four months from now is the time of the grain-cutting .
Take a look ,
I say to you ,
at the fields ;
they are even now white for cutting .
bbe @
John:4:36 @
He who does the cutting now has his reward ;
he is getting together fruit for eternal life ,
so that he who did the planting and he who gets in the grain may have joy together .
bbe @
John:4:37 @
In this the saying is a true one ,
One does the planting ,
and another gets in the grain .
bbe @
John:4:38 @
I sent you to get in grain which you had no hand in planting :
other men did that work ,
and you take the reward .
