John 4:35-37
New English Translation
35 Don’t you say,[a] ‘There are four more months and then comes the harvest?’ I tell you, look up[b] and see that the fields are already white[c] for harvest! 36 The one who reaps receives pay[d] and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that the one who sows and the one who reaps can rejoice together. 37 For in this instance the saying is true,[e] ‘One sows and another reaps.’
