Bible: John 4:31-38
Workers for the Harvest
4:31 Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, 1 “Rabbi, eat something.” 2 4:32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.” 4:33 So the disciples began to say 3 to one another, “No one brought him anything 4 to eat, did they?” 5 4:34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of the one who sent me 6 and to complete 7 his work. 8 4:35 Don’t you say, 9 ‘There are four more months and then comes the harvest?’ I tell you, look up 10 and see that the fields are already white 11 for harvest! 4:36 The one who reaps receives pay 12 and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that the one who sows and the one who reaps can rejoice together. 4:37 For in this instance the saying is true, 13 ‘One sows and another reaps.’ 4:38 I sent you to reap what you did not work for; others have labored and you have entered into their labor.”
