John 4:31-38

New American Standard Bible

³¹ Meanwhile the disciples were urging Him, saying, “^(A)Rabbi, eat something.” 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, “No one brought Him anything to eat, did he?” ³⁴ Jesus *said to them, “My food is to ^(C)do the will of Him who sent Me, and to ^(D)accomplish His work. ³⁵ Do you not say, ‘There are still four months, and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I tell you, raise your eyes and observe the fields, that they are white ^(E)for harvest. ³⁶ Already the one who reaps is receiving ^(F)wages and is gathering ^(G)fruit for ^(H)eternal life, so that the one who sows and the one 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 ^[a]come into their labor.”
