John 4:31-38
Holman Christian Standard Bible
31 In the meantime the disciples kept urging Him, “Rabbi,(A) eat something.”
32 But He said, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
33 The disciples said to one another, “Could someone have brought Him something to eat?”
34 “My food is to do the will of Him(B) who sent Me(C) and to finish His work,”(D) Jesus told them. 35 “Don’t you say, ‘There are still four more months, then comes the harvest’? Listen to what I’m telling you: Open[a] your eyes and look at the fields, for they are ready[b] for harvest. 36 The reaper is already receiving pay and gathering fruit for eternal life,(E) so the sower and reaper can rejoice together. 37 For in this case the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’(F) 38 I sent you to reap what you didn’t labor for; others have labored, and you have benefited from[c] their labor.”
