New Testament in a Year

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 disciples said to one another, ^(B)“Has anyone brought him something to eat?” ³⁴ Jesus said to them, ^(C)“My food is ^(D)to do the will of him who sent me and ^(E)to accomplish his work. ³⁵ Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that ^(F)the fields are white for harvest. ³⁶ Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that ^(G)sower and ^(H)reaper ^(I)may rejoice together. ³⁷ For here the saying holds true, ^(J)‘One sows and another reaps.’ ³⁸ I sent you to reap ^(K)that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, ^(L)and you have entered into their labor.”

³⁹ Many Samaritans ^(M)from that town believed in him ^(N)because of ^(O)the woman's testimony, “He told me all that I ever did.” ⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days. ⁴¹ And many more believed ^(P)because of his word. ⁴² They said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, ^(Q)and we know that this is indeed ^(R)the Savior ^(S)of the world.”

⁴³ After ^(T)the two days he departed for Galilee. ⁴⁴ (For Jesus himself had testified ^(U)that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.) ⁴⁵ So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, ^(V)having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast. For ^(W)they too had gone to the feast.

Jesus Heals an Official's Son

⁴⁶ So he came again to ^(X)Cana in Galilee, ^(Y)where he had made the water wine. And at Capernaum there was an official whose son was ill. ⁴⁷ When this man heard that Jesus ^(Z)had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. ⁴⁸ So Jesus said to him, ^(AA)“Unless you^[a] see signs and wonders you will not believe.” ⁴⁹ The official said to him, “Sir, come down ^(AB)before my child dies.” ⁵⁰ Jesus said to him, “Go; your son will live.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went on his way. ⁵¹ As he was going down, his servants^[b] met him and told him that his son was recovering. ⁵² So he asked them the hour when he began to get better, and they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour^[c] the fever left him.” ⁵³ The father knew that was the hour when Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” And he himself believed, ^(AC)and all his household. ^54 (AD)This was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea to Galilee.
