John 4:31-38
English Standard Version
31 Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, saying, (A)“Rabbi, eat.” 32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.” 33 So the disciples said to one another, (B)“Has anyone brought him something to eat?” 34 Jesus said to them, (C)“My food is (D)to do the will of him who sent me and (E)to accomplish his work. 35 Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that (F)the fields are white for harvest. 36 Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that (G)sower and (H)reaper (I)may rejoice together. 37 For here the saying holds true, (J)‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap (K)that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, (L)and you have entered into their labor.”

John 4:31-38
New International Version
31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi,(A) eat something.”
32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat(B) that you know nothing about.”
33 Then his disciples said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?”
34 “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will(C) of him who sent me and to finish his work.(D) 35 Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.(E) 36 Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests(F) a crop for eternal life,(G) so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. 37 Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’(H) is true. 38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”
