John 4:31-38

Legacy Standard Bible

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 ^(B)disciples were saying to one another, “Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?” ³⁴ Jesus *said to them, “My food is to ^(C)do the will of Him who sent Me and to ^(D)finish His work. ³⁵ Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white ^(E)for harvest. ³⁶ Even now he who reaps is receiving ^(F)wages and is gathering ^(G)fruit for ^(H)life eternal; so that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. ³⁷ For in this case the saying is true, ‘^(I)One sows and another reaps.’ ³⁸ I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored and you have entered into their labor.”
