Yochanan (Jhn) 4:27-42

Just then, his talmidim arrived. They were amazed that he was talking with a woman; but none of them said, “What do you want?” or, “Why are you talking with her?” So the woman left her water-jar, went back to the town and said to the people there, “Come, see a man who told me everything I’ve ever done. Could it be that this is the Messiah?” They left the town and began coming toward him. Meanwhile, the talmidim were urging Yeshua, “Rabbi, eat something.” But he answered, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.” At this, the talmidim asked one another, “Could someone have brought him food?” Yeshua said to them, “My food is to do what the one who sent me wants and to bring his work to completion. Don’t you have a saying, ‘Four more months and then the harvest’? Well, what I say to you is: open your eyes and look at the fields! They’re already ripe for harvest! The one who reaps receives his wages and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that the reaper and the sower may be glad together — for in this matter, the proverb, ‘One sows and another reaps,’ holds true. I sent you to reap what you haven’t worked for. Others have done the hard labor, and you have benefited from their work.” Many people from that town in Shomron put their trust in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me all the things I did.” So when these people from Shomron came to him, they asked him to stay with them. He stayed two days, and many more came to trust because of what he said. They said to the woman, “We no longer trust because of what you said, because we have heard for ourselves. We know indeed that this man really is the Savior of the world.”
