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.”

John 4:31-38
American Standard Version
31 In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat. 32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not. 33 The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him aught to eat? 34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish 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, that they are [a]white already unto harvest. 36 He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. 37 For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. 38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not labored: others have labored, and ye are entered into their labor.
