John 4:31-38

21st Century King James Version

³¹ Meanwhile His disciples entreated Him, saying, “Master, eat.”

³² But He said unto them, “I have meat to eat that ye know not of.”

³³ Therefore the disciples said one to another, “Hath any man brought Him aught to eat?”

³⁴ Jesus said unto them, “My meat is to do the will of Him that sent Me, and to finish His work.

³⁵ Say not ye, ‘There are yet four months and then cometh the harvest’? Behold, I say unto you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, for they are white already to harvest.

³⁶ And he that reapeth receiveth wages and gathereth fruit unto life eternal, that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

³⁷ And herein is that saying true, ‘One soweth and another reapeth.’

³⁸ I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labor; other men labored, and ye have entered into their labors.”
