John 4:27-42
\n27 Just then his disciples came. They were astonished that he was speaking with a woman, but no one said, \u201cWhat do you want?\u201d or, \u201cWhy are you speaking with her?\u201d 28 Then the woman left her water jar and went back to the city. She said to the people, 29 \u201cCome and see a man who told me everything I have ever done! He cannot be the Messiah, can he?\u201d 30 They left the city and were on their way to him.
\n31 Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, \u201cRabbi, eat something.\u201d 32 But he said to them, \u201cI have food to eat that you do not know about.\u201d 33 So the disciples said to one another, \u201cSurely no one has brought him something to eat?\u201d 34 Jesus said to them, \u201cMy food is to do the will of him who sent me and to complete his work. 35 Do you not say, \u2018Four months more, then comes the harvest\u2019? But I tell you, look around you, and see how the fields are ripe for harvesting. 36 The reaper is already receiving wages and is gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together. 37 For here the saying holds true, \u2018One sows and another reaps.\u2019 38 I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.\u201d
\n39 Many Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, \u201cHe told me everything I have ever done.\u201d 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 because of his word. 42 They said to the woman, \u201cIt is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is truly the Savior of the world.\u201d
