*
At this ,
his disciples came .
They marveled that he was speaking with a woman ;
yet no one said , "
What are you looking for ?"
or , "
Why do you speak with her ?"
*
So the woman left her water pot ,
and went away into the city ,
and said to the people ,
* "
Come ,
see a man who told me everything that I did .
Can this be the Christ ?"
*
They went out of the city ,
and were coming to him .
*
In the meanwhile ,
the disciples urged him ,
saying , "
Rabbi ,
eat ."
*
But he said to them , "
I have food to eat that you don '
t know about ."
*
The disciples therefore said one to another , "
Has anyone 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 .
*
Don '
t you say , '
There are yet four months until the harvest ?'
Behold ,
I tell you ,
lift up your eyes ,
and look at the fields ,
that they are white for harvest already .
*
He who reaps receives wages ,
and gathers fruit to 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 haven '
t labored .
Others have labored ,
and you have entered into their labor ."
